Tobi the lavender warrior mentioned to me, what he calls EGG SURPRISE. A hard boiled egg wrapped in mince. So... basically a scotch egg but less gross? OK.
PS this is something I made like two weeks ago, but then I lost my camera, and then I just got... yknow.. a little procrastinate-y.
Now, just a large scotch egg on its own sounds like a terrible meal, to be honest. So I decided to try making some POTATO DISCS. Like potato wedges, but... well, you know.. discier.
Sliced them all and dunked them in a mixture of olive oil, cajun and mixed fajita spices. Then they went in the oven for like 35 mins.
Here I made a mincy mixture of beef, onion and diced basil. I'm a little concerned about my slightly large onions, this mince might not stay together so well. But I'm only making 2 giant meatballs, so all I need to do is get it right... twice...
I boiled these eggs the day before, since a boiled egg will keep just great and it saves a bit of time. PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT AT THE START HAHAHA.
So they're all wrapped up and in the frying pan.
WELL, That failed.
Post-Mortem: *** Well, the giant meatball tasted good and all, but I did basically wreck it. And it basically was just a meat and onion patty with an egg in it. However, what saves the score on this one was those potato discs, they are AMAZINGGGGG. You have the flavours and firmness of a wedge, but with the greater surface area for a better flavour to potato ratio, not to mention a greater crispy-outer-bit to potato ratio!
