Description

This is a very clever, original appetizer that can also serve as a hot dish. It's not something you eat often, as it can be quite rich. Nevertheless, it's always good to diversify the table!

Ingredients

Veal Mince - 20 oz
Quail Egg - 10 pieces
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Chocolate eggs - 2 pieces
Breadcrumbs - 5 oz
Olive Oil - 25 fl oz
Spices - to taste
Wheat Flour - 5 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the minced meat.

Step 2

Add an egg and spices to the minced meat (it can be any type, even chicken; the dish will be somewhat dry regardless). Mix thoroughly. Let it sit so the spices can infuse.

Step 3

Boil the quail eggs, keeping them in cold water for a while to make peeling easier. Peeling the eggs is the longest procedure in preparing this dish.

Step 4

Take a small piece of minced meat, roll it into a ball. Flatten it into a patty, place the peeled egg in the center, and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat the process with all the eggs.

Step 5

Heat the oil in a deep fryer (I don't have one, so I poured oil into a saucepan). This will take about 5 minutes. Prepare three plates: one with flour, one with breadcrumbs, and the third with the beaten egg (whisked with a fork).
