- 4 Opies Pickled Walnuts, chopped finely
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- salt and pepper
- 50g (1¾ oz) plain flour
- 80g (3oz) panko breadcrumbs
- oil, for deep frying
Instructions
1
Hard-boil 4 of the eggs for approximately 8 minutes, leaving the yolks a little soft, then cool
immediately in cold running water.
2
In a large bowl, combine the sausagemeat, Opies Pickled Walnuts and parsley, then season with salt and pepper.
3
Peel the hard-boiled eggs, then divide the sausagemeat mixture into four and wrap around the eggs, creating a tight seal.
4
Season the flour and place on a shallow plate. Beat the remaining egg in a separate shallow dish. Place the panko breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.
5
Roll each egg first in flour, then egg and finally roll in breadcrumbs. Place on a plate in the fridge to chill for about half an hour.
