Quail & Chorizo Scotch Egg

Shishito Potato O’Brien

Sauce Choron

Spinach

Method

Quail & Chorizo Scotch Egg

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chorizo Mixture

    In a bowl, mix together the chorizo sausage (casings removed) and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Boil the Quail Eggs

    Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Gently place the quail eggs in the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove and place in ice water to cool. Once cooled, carefully peel the eggs.

  3. 3

    Wrap the Eggs

    Take a portion of the chorizo mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a peeled quail egg in the center and wrap the chorizo around it, ensuring it is fully covered. Repeat for all eggs.

  4. 4

    Coat the Eggs

    Dredge the chorizo-wrapped eggs in flour, dip in beaten egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs.

  5. 5

    Fry the Eggs

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the Scotch eggs until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Shishito Potato O’Brien

  1. 6

    Prepare Potatoes

    Dice the potatoes into small cubes. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook until golden and crispy, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Peppers and Onions

    When potatoes are nearly done, add diced onion and shishito peppers to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for an additional 5 minutes until everything is cooked through.

Sauce Choron

  1. 8

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine white wine and egg yolks over low heat, whisking continuously until thickened. Gradually whisk in the butter until melted and combined. Stir in the tomato paste, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Spinach

  1. 9

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
