12 x Quails eggs

50g x Minced pork fat
Salt and pepper
1 tsp x English Mustard
100g x Flour
3 x Eggs, beaten
500g Breadcrumbs

1. Bring a pan of water to the boil

cook the quail eggs for 2 1/2 minutes then place them directly into iced water. Allow to cool and then peel and set to one side.

2. Mix the game bird mince

pork fat and a pinch of salt and pepper together. Then add the mustard and mix well, split the mixture into 12 even pieces the size of golf balls.

3. Lightly flour

your hands and spread the mix in the palm of your hand, place the quail egg in the centre and wrap the meat around to form a ball. Repeat this process with all remaining quail eggs.
