Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pound ground pork
3 tablespoons fennel seeds
1/2 bunch fresh sage, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
8 hardcooked eggs, peeled and chilled
3 cups fine, dry bread crumbs
4 eggs, beaten
4 cups vegetable oil
1 recipe Watercress Salad (recipe below)
2 tomatoes, sliced
Horseradish and Mustard and Mayonnaise (recipe below)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
5 large bunches watercress, stems removed, leaves washed and well dried
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup freshly grated horseradish
1/2 cup Dijon or stoneground mustard
White pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Mix together pork, fennel seed, sage, salt, and pepper. Divide into 8 equal portions. Form a patty in your hand with the first portion. Flatten patty, place egg inside, and keep rolling egg and meat in the palms of your hands, until a thin layer of meat coats the eggs. Repeat this procedure until all the eggs are coated with pork mixture. Chill 20 minutes.
  • Dredge chilled, coated eggs first in bread crumbs, then in eggs and bread crumbs again. Chill 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat oil in a large stockpot or saucepan to deep fry temperature (350 degrees F). Fry eggs, 2 or 3 at a time, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Transfer to a roasting pan and bake 10 minutes. To serve, arrange a bed of Watercress Salad on each serving plate. Slice eggs in half and place 4 halves on top of each salad. Garnish with tomato slices and dollops of Horseradish and Mustard and Mayonnaise for dipping. Serve while eggs are warm.
  • Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Tear watercress into bite sized pieces and toss with dressing. Reserve in refrigerator.
  • Blend ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to use.
