SCOTCH QUAIL EGGS
I've made scotch eggs, but I find that the huge size (1/4 pound of pork for each egg) is quite a commitment in terms of how much you have to eat. Quail eggs need about 1 1/2 ounces of sausage per egg, and so are more snack-sized. But, the eggs themselves are tough to work with because they're so delicate. Still, the effort is well worth the time.

Steps:
- Toast fennel seeds on stove, keeping them moving constantly, until they turn a golden brown color, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool, then grind in spice grinder. Combine with salt, pepper, and parsley in small cup.
- If grinding your own pork, trim fat from pork and cut into 1" cubes.
- Combine the blend from Step 1 with the pork. If grinding your own pork, put in freezer (along with all grinder components except for the motor) for 1 hour before using in meat grinder. If not, then refrigerate until ready to use.
- Start to heat up oil in deep fryer or pan deep enough to toally cover eggs, until it reaches 350°F.
- Place eggs in a pot of cold water that just covers the eggs. Heat until the water achieves a rolling boil. Remove pot from heat immediately, cover, and allow to sit for 3 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water and immerse in ice water. NOTE: this gives the eggs a soft center. Allow to rest for 5 minutes to hard boil.
- NOTE: quail eggs are incredibly hard to peel when soft boiled due to the thin shell. To peel egg shell, tap the bottom of one egg to crack it. Use a spoon to carefully peel the shell away from the egg while rotating the egg. Repeat for each egg. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- If grinding your own pork, remove pork from the freezer and grind.
- Divide the sausage into equal portions and flatten into a disc shape in the palm of your hand. Place the egg in the center of the disc and carefully wrap the sausage around them, ensuring that there are no openings.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a bowl. Whisk the remaining egg in another bowl. Roll each sausage wrapped egg in the egg wash to fully coat, then roll in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Place sausage wrapped eggs in the fryer so they aren't touching, for 3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Combine mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice to create mustard sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6).
- Boil water using a kettle or a pan.
- Carefully put the quail's eggs into a small pan, adding the vinegar. Once the water boils, pour in the boiling water straight away and cook for 2 minutes. Don't do it longer, they will go rubbery!
- Move the pan to the sink and run cold water over the eggs for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Tap, roll and very gently peel the shells off them. Sometimes it helps if you do this under cold water. The first couple are hard to do but you'll get the hang of it.
- Place the pork in a bowl with spices and mix together. Divide the meat into 12 equal portions.
- Take a piece of the pork mixture and flatten it in the palm of your hand.
- Place one of the quail eggs in the centre and stretch the pork mixture around to cover the egg completely, then roll between your hands to make an even-shaped ball. Repeat with the remaining eggs and pork mixture to make 12 balls.
- Place the flour, beaten egg and cornflakes/breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls.
- Dip each Scotch egg first in the flour to lightly coat, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the cornflakes/breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining eggs and place on a plate until ready to cook.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden, making sure the pork mixture is cooked all the way through.
- Can be served hot or cold, goes well with mustard but I think they are tasty enough to skip it.

Steps:
- Put 8 of the eggs in a pan of cold water. Bring to the boil, cook for 5 mins, then quickly lift out of the pan and plunge in a big bowl of cold water to cool. Once cool enough to handle, peel.
- While the eggs cool, put the oil, onions and garlic in a frying pan. Fry very gently until really soft and just starting to turn golden. Add the spices and fry for a few mins more. Tip into a food processor and whizz to a paste, then add the chickpeas and coriander leaves, and pulse until finely chopped but not pasty. Stir in the wholemeal breadcrumbs, flour and final egg, beaten first with a fork, with a good amount of seasoning.
- Divide the mixture into 8. Take a portion at a time and flatten between your hands (rub your hands with a little more oil if it's sticking to your fingers too much). Roll 1 of your peeled eggs in a little flour, shake to remove the excess, then wrap the falafel mixture around it, moulding it to completely cover the egg and squishing it together at the joins to seal. Repeat to cover all the eggs. Tip the panko or dried breadcrumbs onto a plate and mix in the sesame seeds. Roll each egg in it to coat. Can be made 1 day ahead, loosely covered with cling film and chilled.
- Get a large, deep saucepan and half-fill it with oil, or use a deep-fat fryer. Heat until a bit of bread browns in about 30 secs. Add a couple of eggs at a time and fry, turning, until really golden and crisp, about 2 mins. Lift onto kitchen paper to drain while you cook the rest of the eggs in batches. Season with a little more salt and eat warm or cold.

Steps:
- Fill a large pan with water and bring to the boil. Fill a bowl with cold water and add the vinegar. Lower the quail's eggs into the boiling water with a slotted spoon and cook for 2 mins. Scoop out the eggs, plunge them into the vinegar water and leave to cool for at least 20 mins, or drain and chill for up to 24 hrs.
- In a large bowl, mash the sausagemeat, thyme and chutney until well combined. Drain and carefully peel the eggs. They should be softly boiled, so will be delicate - try not to break the egg white as you peel them.
- Spread the flour over a plate. Whisk the hen's eggs in a wide, shallow bowl and tip the breadcrumbs into a third dish. Divide the sausage mixture into 12 patties. Take one patty and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Put a peeled egg in the centre and carefully wrap the patty around the egg to completely enclose it. Roll in flour, then egg, then the breadcrumbs. Continue with the remaining 11 eggs, then chill for at least 30 mins, or overnight.
- Half-fill a large pan with oil, heat to 180C on a thermometer, or until a cube of bread browns in 45 secs. Gently drop in a few eggs, making sure you don't overcrowd the pan, and cook for 3 mins or until deep golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a tray lined with kitchen paper, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve warm or cold. Will keep in the fridge for 1 day.
