Appetizers • Scottish
Description
This is a very clever, original appetizer that can also serve as a hot dish. It's not something you eat often, as it can be quite rich. Nevertheless, it's always good to diversify the table!
Ingredients
- Veal Mince 20 oz
- Quail Egg 10 pieces
- Salt to taste
- Ground Black Pepper to taste
- Chocolate eggs 2 pieces
- Breadcrumbs 5 oz
- Olive Oil 25 fl oz
- Spices to taste
- Wheat Flour 5 oz
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Prepare the minced meat.
Step 2
Add an egg and spices to the minced meat (it can be any type, even chicken; the dish will be somewhat dry regardless). Mix thoroughly. Let it sit so the spices can infuse.
Step 3
Boil the quail eggs, keeping them in cold water for a while to make peeling easier. Peeling the eggs is the longest procedure in preparing this dish.
Step 4
Take a small piece of minced meat, roll it into a ball. Flatten it into a patty, place the peeled egg in the center, and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat the process with all the eggs.
Step 5
Heat the oil in a deep fryer (I don't have one, so I poured oil into a saucepan). This will take about 5 minutes. Prepare three plates: one with flour, one with breadcrumbs, and the third with the beaten egg (whisked with a fork).
Step 6
Next, it's very simple. Take a ball, coat it in flour, then dip it in the egg, and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs. Drop it into the oil.
