Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and boil a kettle

Chop your potato[es] (skins on) into small bite-sized pieces and add them to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt

Give everything a good mix up and sprinkle over half of your black mustard seeds (save the rest for later!)

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 35 min or until golden and crisp

Step 1
2.

Add your egg[s] to a pot of boiled water with a pinch of salt (salt prevents the egg from cracking) and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, cook for exactly 6 min, then fill a bowl of very cold water and add the cooked egg[s] to the bowl to cool down quickly

Step 2
3.

Add a sheet of baking paper to your chopping board and sprinkle over a generous dusting of flour

Remove your sausages from their skins and combine to form a giant meatball[s] (1 per person!), then flatten the meatball[s] into a circle (big enough to coat an egg) onto the floured baking paper

Step 3
4.

Peel the cooled egg[s]

Add the peeled egg[s] to the centre of the sausage meat circle[s]

Wrap the sausage meat around the egg and seal it tightly on all sides so that there aren't any gaps – this is your sausage-coated egg[s]

Step 4
5.

Bash your crispy onions with a rolling pin until finely crushed and add them to a plate

Add a drizzle of olive oil to a separate plate

Turn the sausage-coated egg[s] in the olive oil, shake off the excess, then add to the crushed crispy onions and press firmly until evenly coated all over – this your scotch egg[s]

Step 5
6.

Add the scotch egg[s] to a baking paper-lined baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 22-25 min, or until the sausage is cooked through

Meanwhile, add your capers to a food processor with your mustard ketchup, cider vinegar and remaining black mustard seeds

Add 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] olive oil and pulse until you're left with a slightly chunky texture – this is your cheat's piccalilli

Step 6
7.

Grate your radishes coarsely

Tip: Trim the bottoms off and hold the stalks to grate them easily!

Wash your lettuce, then pat dry with kitchen paper

Once cooked, cut the baked scotch egg[s] in half

Step 7
8.

Served the baked scotch egg halves with the lettuce to the side topped with the crispy potatoes and grated radish

Dollop over the cheat's piccalilli

Enjoy!
