Method
- In a pan, sweat the onion in a little cooking oil until translucent then add the chopped sage and onion powder.
- Allow the onions to cool then mix with the pork sausage meat and season with salt and pepper.
- Weigh out 65-75g balls of the sausage meat mix then wrap each ball around the cooked, peeled eggs, placing them in the fridge to firm up.
- For the coating, mix together the flour, beaten eggs and the breadcrumbs before coating each egg in the mixture. Return the Scotch eggs to the fridge to firm up again.
- When firm, remove the eggs from the fridge and place in a deep fat fryer for 4 ½ minutes at 160 degrees Celsius.
- Drain on kitchen paper and then cut in half and serve with piccalilli and deep-fried sage leaves. Season the runny yolk with sea salt.
