MEATLOAF WELLINGTON, SCOTCH EGG



Meatloaf Wellington, Scotch Egg image

Categories     Beef     Dinner     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 12

18 ounces Ground Beef, Lean
16 ounces Spicy Italian Sausage (no skins)
1 teaspoon Chilli Flakes, Red
1 teaspoon Salt
2 cloves Garlic Clove's, Crushed
1 Onion, Small, Finely Chopped
5 tablespoons Bread Crumbs, (Panko, or breadcrumbs)
1.5 cups Parsley, Fresh ( Large Handful)
5 Eggs, 5 each (8 minute Hard Boiled, Ice Bath, and peeled)
1 package Puffed Pastry, Rolled out to only cover loaf (Work with it cold)
3 teaspoons Yeast Extract, or Miso paste diluted and brushed on top
1 Egg, (beaten to coat pastry)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 360° F
  • Put the ground beef, sausage, chili flakes, salt, garlic, onion and breadcrumbs into a bowl and mix together with your hands. Add the parsley and mix until you have flecks of green all through the meat mixture.
  • Lay two long lengths of cling film on your worktop, one overlapping the other. Turn the meat mixture on to it and pat it out with damp hands into a 12" X 10" rectangle. Line up the hard-boiled eggs in a row down the 12" length down the center. Pull the cling wrap over to on both sides to make a large loaf over the eggs. Pinch the meat over the eggs on the end, and Twist the ends of the cling wrap. Place the meat log into the fridge to stay cool.
  • Roll out the pastry to be about 14" X 14" and ¼" thick. Brush the Yeast Extract (Miso) mixture over the entire surface of the pastry.
  • Set the meat roll from the cling wrap in the center of the pastry and drape over the ends, and pinch closed only. It says to wrap it completely, but try only draping it over the top so the grease can drain off without being absorbed in the bottom pastry. Use damp hands to work the pastry.
  • Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and place on a wire rack on a foil covered baking tray.
  • Use the Meater at 145° F as target temperature.
  • Place in oven for about 1 ½ hours. Use the Meater.
  • The meat roll can be prepared the night before and put in the fridge.
  • After about 45 minutes you can turn the oven down to 350° F and finish the cooking based on the Meater.

BAKED SCOTCH EGG



Baked Scotch Egg image

I love scotch eggs but I hate deep fat frying so came up with this baked alternative

Provided by AshleyRoberts

Time 40m

Yield Makes 4 scotch eggs

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • First, bring a pan of water to a rolling boil, gently lower 4 of the eggs into the water and boil for 4 - 4.5 minutes for a runny yolk.and prepare a bowl of ice water.
  • Once the eggs are finished plunge them straight into the ice water and leave them for 10 minutes to stop cooking. This will also make it easier for the shells to come off.
  • Whilst the eggs are cooking off. Prepare the sausage meat by dividing into 4 equal parts and then flattening out each part on some clingfilm.
  • Now it's time to de-shell those eggs. Lightly tap the outside of the egg with a metal spoon and then peel the shell off. I find this easy to do under the cold water then it just slips right off.
  • Once you have de-shelled all your eggs place each egg on a piece of sausage meat. Carefully wrap the meat around the ahh being careful not to pop the egg.
  • Once each egg is fully wrapped up in sausage meat, wrap it in the clingfilm and make into a nice ball shape and then chill for 2 hours to firm up the meat.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 200.c fan/ 400F / gas mark 6
  • Whilst the oven is heating set up your flour in one bowl with the salt and pepper, the remaining egg lightly beaten in another and then the bread crumbs in a 3rd bowl.
  • Coat each sausage meat ball in the flour get it all covered evenly and lightly. Then this is where it gets messy... into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs. Repeat this for each of the balls ensuring your got even coverage.once fully coated place on an oven tray with non stick baking sheet.
  • Place the tray in the oven for approximately 20/25 minutes until crispy coating. Enjoy them warm straight from the oven or allow them to cook to take on a picknic

THE BEST SCOTCH EGG RECIPE



The Best Scotch Egg Recipe image

The Scotch Egg is back only now the Scotch Egg recipe is lighter and tastier than the deep-fried eggs of my childhood. Why this lunch box stalwart ever fell out of favour is anyone's guess, perhaps the deep-fried element contributed to its demise? The 21st century version is lighter, uses free-range eggs, good quality sausage meat, fresh herbs and light crumbs for the coating and is only lightly fried, then baked in the oven.A good all-rounder. Scotch eggs are a neat, portable, self-contained parcel of food, the only other so handy is the Cornish Pasty and both of which are perfect in a lunch boxes, at a summer picnic, a party or as a snack.

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large free-range eggs
2 tbsp flour seasoned with salt and pepper
225g / 8 oz good quality sausage meat or skinless sausage
Dash Worcestershire Sauce
2 spring onions, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (or any other fresh herb that takes your fancy)
Pinch of ground mace (optional)
Salt and pepper
1 free-range egg, beaten
Home-made dry breadcrumbs or a good quality crumb such as Panko
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 190°C/Gas 5
  • Place the eggs in a pan of boiling water and cook for exactly 7 minutes. Remove from the pan and plunge into iced water to stop them cooking. Once cool, peel the eggs and put to one side.
  • Dust the hard boiled eggs by rolling them in the seasoned flour.
  • Place the sausage meat in a large bowl, add the Worcestershire sauce, spring onions, fresh herbs and mace, if using, and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  • Divide the sausage meat into 4 equal portions.
  • Form each portion into a flat cake large enough to fit around the egg. Work the sausage meat around the egg as evenly as possible whilst working hard to keep the egg shape and making sure there are no cracks. Place the meat coated eggs in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Roll the boiled eggs in the seasoned flour followed by the beaten egg, then into the crumbs and press lightly to ensure a good 'fix'.
  • Heat 4cm / 1 ½" of oil in a deep frying pan. Heat the oil to 180°C / 350°F (or until a cube of bread turns golden brown) in less than a minute. Place the coated eggs in the oil, raise the heat slightly and cook the eggs, turning frequently for 3 minutes. Remove the eggs and then place on a tray and pop into the preheated oven for 6 minutes or until golden brown all over.
  • Drain on kitchen paper and serve warm or cool if for a picnic or lunch box.
  • Scotch eggs can be made the day before and kept in the fridge. .
