Method: How to make Wild boar Scotch eggs

1

Soft boil 2 of the eggs for 5 minutes, then plunge in ice water.

2

Peel the eggs. Roll in flour and then gently wrap the mince around them so they are covered in the meat (1cm thick).

3

Roll the eggs in flour, egg wash and then through the breadcrumbs, ensuring they're covered entirely.

4

Heat the oil to 180C and carefully place the eggs in the oil and cook for 6 minutes, or until golden.

5

Remove and drain on kitchen paper.

6

Serve with pickled onions.
