Lamb Vindaloo Scotch Eggs

serves 2

Lamb Vindaloo Scotch Eggs put a fiery, flavour-packed spin on a pub classic. Soft-boiled eggs are wrapped in seasoned lamb mince with vindaloo paste, ginger, garlic and fresh coriander, then coated in crisp golden breadcrumbs.

The result is crunchy on the outside, juicy and aromatic in the middle, and rich with warm spice throughout. Serve them warm with mint yoghurt or mango chutney for a cooling contrast, plus a crisp side salad for an easy sharing plate. They are ideal for party platters, weekend snacking, or slicing into wraps when you want something bold and a little different.
