Method
To make the soup
- Finely chop the onion then sweat down in a little butter until soft.

- Pass through a fine sieve.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and sugar.
- Keep hot.
To make the scotch eggs
- Bring a pan of water to the boil and drop in the quail eggs, simmer them for exactly 2 ½ minutes then put them straight into chilled water and refresh them for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs carefully once cold.
- Mix the sausage meat and coriander then season with salt and pepper.
- Roll the meat out in between 2 sheets of grease-proof paper, using non-stick grease spray on them first to ensure the meat does not stick.
- Once the meat is about 2-3mm thick roll around the eggs to coat all the egg evenly.
- Roll the scotch eggs first in the flour, then the beaten egg and finally the breadcrumb to coat them fully and evenly.
- Deep fry when needed for about 1 ½ minutes at 190˚c or till golden and crisp.
- Drain on kitchen towel and serve.
