“Chorizo Scotch Eggs”

Servings: 6 servings
- 6 eggs soft boiled and peeled
- 3 cups ground chorizo sausage or other ground pork mixed with spices
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup grape seed or vegetable oil
Roll the eggs in flour.
Lay 1/2 cup of sausage on a cutting board and flatten it so that it is 1/2-inch thick. Encase an egg in it. Repeat this with the remaining eggs and sausage.
Shape the meat around the egg with your hands to make sure it is well sealed, then roll it in bread crumbs.
Heat the grape seed oil and drop the eggs in. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until dark brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Slice the eggs in half and serve.
