I think this is such a brilliant idea. I love reading books about the places I’m travelling to or have visited. I might just add that Down Under by Bill Bryson is a great pre-Australia read that was left off the list!

The Waitrose recipe of the week is Heston’s Scotch eggs and that means all the ingredients are 1/3 off. I superlove Scotch eggs so I’m filing this one away for impressing house guests.

I’m willing to bet this is harder than it sounds. For example I can see it being a bit of a comedy show trying to get the boiling hot eggs into the ice water at precisely 1 minute 45 seconds but maybe that would just be me.

If you’re game, here is the recipe. From Waitrose.com to me to you.

Ingredients
10 medium eggs
450g Waitrose Premium Pork Sausagemeat Stuffing or 6 Waitrose Gourmet Pork Sausages, skins removed
1 heaped tsp thyme leaves (approximately ¼ packet)
45g French’s mustard
½ level tsp cayenne pepper
Seasoning
1 packet of chives, chopped
Plain flour
50ml milk
125g Cooks’ Ingredients Breadcrumbs
Ground nut oil, for frying

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190c, gas mark 5. Place 8 eggs in a large pan with enough cold water to cover them by 2cm and place over a high heat. As soon as the water starts to simmer, set a timer for 1 minute 45 seconds exactly. While the eggs are cooking, fill a bowl with cold water and ice and after the exact time has elapsed, take the eggs out of the saucepan and plunge them into the water to cool.
2. Place the sausagemeat in a bowl and add the thyme, mustard, cayenne pepper, seasoning, chopped chives and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix thoroughly and form 8 patties with your hands (dip your hands in cold water if the mix sticks). Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
3. Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, gently remove the shells. Flatten each pattie into a circle and place an egg in the centre. Wrap the sausagemeat around the egg, pressing the edges in order to seal it but being careful not to press too hard.
4. Put the flour into a small bowl and season. In a second small bowl, beat the remaining 2 eggs and stir in the milk. Put the breadcrumbs into a third bowl. Roll each egg in the flour, gently tapping off any excess, then dip it in the beaten egg and finally, roll it in the breadcrumbs, making sure that all sides are coated
5. Heat a deep fat fryer to 190c or fill a saucepan with oil deep enoughto cover the eggs and heat to 190c. Fry the Scotch eggs 2 at a time for 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a drying rack over a baking tray. When all the eggs have been fried, place the tray in the oven for an additional 10 minutes. Serve immediately while the yolks are still runny.Copyright Heston Blumenthal 2010

Serving tips
Make a mustard mayonnaise to dip the eggs in by stirring 1 tbsp of French’s mustard into 3 tbsp of mayonnaise.
