Hi, I'm Nathan Josias.
I'm a French plant-based chef and I live in London.
Today, I'm gonna show you how to make this crazy
veganized scotch eggs, are really British recipe.
Stay tuned to see how I did it.
Before starting any other step in the recipe
we're gonna cut potato and put them to a boil.
Now that we cut the potatoes
we just gonna put them in water,
no need to add salt or anything.
Usually potato are not in the Scotch egg recipe,
this time you're going to use them to make the egg yolk.
We want to cook egg yolk
so potato would be the perfect texture.
Let's bring them to a boil for 20 minutes
just in the background.
Usually Scotch eggs are made out of pork sausage, and egg,
as they not vegan we're gonna use agar agar,
and plant milk to really thicken everything
and to have this eggy texture and to give the flavor of egg
we're gonna use black salt or Kala Namak.
So, the aim here is to make egg whites.
So, I'm gonna thicken some cashew milk
and I'm gonna add about five grams of Agar Agar
to really have this jelly texture
that we want to find in the egg whites.
Add just the black salt,
it's gonna give this really egg flavor.
I'm gonna whisk it when it's still cold
to make sure the Agar Agar is well combined
in the cashew milk and then I will bring it
to boil on the stove.
The smell of egg is really, really intense
and it's really weird.
I'm not used to have this smell of egg
and at the same time, this liquid consistency.
When everything is well combined
we're gonna bring it to a boil on the stove.
Just make sure that you stir while you bring it to a boil.
It's time to use molds so here I'm gonna
use chocolate molds, you can buy them anywhere
on the internet or even in bakery store.
You just gonna pour them until the middle half
of the mold should be okay.
Be gentle, don't be like Nathan.
We're gonna put them in the fridge for about 40 minutes.
The potato are finally cooked so I'm gonna drain them
and if you were a smarter than me
you would have probably peeled the potatoes.
So, don't make the same mistake,
peel them because now they are boiling,
I will have to peel them myself.
It's time to make the actual egg yolk.
Once you've burned all your finger peeling the potato
I'm just gonna add them to a bowl
to make sure that they're really a bit yellow.
We're gonna add just a bit of tumeric,
a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
Now, let's take a fork and mash everything.
So, you can already see that it's gonna
be really crumbly, you know, when you boil that egg
over seven or eight minutes you start
to have this egg yolk really crumbly.
This is exactly what we're trying to have right here.
If you had a really intense day,
if you're stressed, just go for it,
mashed potato with a fork.
This recipe, if it turned out to be the a success
will be an over reason for you to try to be vegan,
at least just once.
I'm gonna sit that aside and just let it cool down.
As I say earlier, Scotch egg are made out of pork sausage,
but here we gonna make a vegan version.
So, I'm gonna have some vegan sausage from a local chain
food store here in the UK
and just to try a different version,
I'm gonna use Beyond Meat sausage.
I'm gonna use two different bowl
so we can really appreciate the difference.
In one I'm gonna place my Beyond Meat sausage
and then the other one, just my local vegan sausage.
All we have to do because both of them are already flavored
I'm just gonna mash them with a fork.
The Beyond Meat sausage is really easier to mash,
I hope it's gonna work well when I'm going to fry them.
We have our potato egg yolks ready right here
and we're gonna check or white egg
and look at this, this is just amazing.
The texture is, really feel like we have a white egg here
and it smells just like egg, my Lord.
We're gonna use a teaspoon to try to scoop a bit
of this egg white right here.
You'll want to be gentle and patient
because it's still Agar Agar
and look at it, when I talk about it
I just could to be gentle, be patient, no rush.
For all the British people watching that video
let me know how close they are from real Scotch eggs.
I never had Scotch eggs
cause I arrived here vegan.
So, let's move on to the egg yolk.
I'm just gonna take here one, exactly half a teaspoon
and I'm just gonna pour it into half of the egg.
I'm happy with that.
I hope you're happy with your eggs too.
It's time to roll the vegan eggs
into the different types of sausage we have.
I'm going to start with the Beyond Meat sausage right here.
So, what I'm going to do I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna combine two half together
and try to make the egg yolk,
you know, be kind of in the middle
and I'm gonna put first some Beyond Meat sausage.
The reason I use a plastic film right here
is just to make sure that I don't have any hole
and when I'm gonna fry I don't want the oil
to go directly into the egg.
Let's take our two half together,
put them in the center and I'm gonna use the plastic film
to go all around.
Now, that the egg is wrapped into the meat
let's try to make it even coating all around the egg.
I'm gonna press with the film to combine it all together
and I'm gonna try to give it more of an egg shape.
So, here that would be my Scotch egg.
Try to respect a bit the size of the eggs,
I mean the shape of the egg, that should be okay.
I'm gonna use the same film
for the other type of vegan sausage.
Okay, let's take some two other half right here,
I'm gonna do exactly the same.
I'm gonna try to press the vegan sausage all around the egg
with the film.
Look at this package, that's an egg and sausage.
And here come my favorite part, frying party.
While the oil is heating up, I'm just gonna put
these two Scotch egg into some i breadcrumbs,
any type of breadcrumb should work.
I love fraying things, I don't know why,
I love this crispiness that we have
when something is deep fried, just amazing.
In the traditional recipes Scotch eggs are put
into some egg yolk before you put them
into some breadcrumbs but the vegan sausage are moist enough
to keep the breadcrumbs on them.
Can not wait, I want to eat them.
Let's fry the Beyond Meat first.
I would say that the Beyond Meat is a bit more moist,
maybe it will keep a bit more oil,
but let's see until the end result.
Both our vegan Scotch eggs are fried now.
I'm just gonna cut them and see how it turned out.
I can tell that the Beyond Meat sausage went a bit out
and we can see the egg right here
but that should not be an issue.
I'm gonna start with the Beyond Meat sausage,
let's compare the other one.
I'm so happy, we have actual vegan Scotch eggs.
This is just amazing.
I'm gonna plate this vegan Scotch eggs,
just serve them with a bit of salad
to add a bit of freshness to all this frying process.
I'm gonna serve them with this traditional British mustard.
I'm a fan of mustard,
I could eat it with a teaspoon, weirdo.
And this is good.
The Beyond Meat one is not that much crunchy
but the taste of it and this black salt
really made the difference.
This is amazing.
This one holds a bit better
probably because my oil was hotter.
A bit more spice, I guess, in the sausage itself
but both are just amazing.
This is how you supposed to eat it in England.
