Phew, this post is a bit long and it would feel like you are scrolling forever to get to the end. I tried to put the photos side by side but my html coding is not up to scratch as yet, so the photos were all over the place :-).
Last week, we had a bit of a food sesh at a friend's house and I made this modified version of the scotch egg. The original recipe found
here did not have cayenne, onions or stock powder. I added these because in Sierra Leone, we add chili and stock to all savory recipes. Yes, I know, it's British and I am not trying to claim it, but I believe I have done a pretty good job here.
The ingredients I used are:

Now, boil eggs for 5 minutes, remove and pop straight into iced cold water to stop the cooking process, then gently peel. |
