- Add the remaining ingredients and cook until chutney-like in consistency
- Transfer to a blender and puree
- Pass through a sieve and set aside to cool
- TO MAKE THE SCOTCH EGGS Combine the sausage meat and minced venison and season with a generous pinch of salt
- Lay a large piece of cling film over the work surface and place 1/4 of the mix onto it
- Lay a second piece of film over the top and press it down gently
- Use a rolling pin to roll the mince mix to a thickness of a generous 1/2 cm
- Slide the mix onto a tray and chill in the fridge
- Repeat this process for the remaining ¾ of the mix
- Leave to chill for one hour
- Place the 10 eggs into a pan of boiling water and cook for 6 minutes
- Remove from the pan, refresh under cold running water for 5 minutes and peel
- Remove one sheet of venison mix and lay it on the work surface

- Use a saucer to make circular indents into the mix

- Leave the eggs to chill for an hour
- Mix the Nespresso Arpeggio grounds and breadcrumbs and set aside in a flat dish and similarly place the flour into a flat dish
- Crack the additional 2 eggs into another dish and whisk briefly to loosen them

- Set aside in the fridge
- TO SERVE Deep fry the scotch eggs in a fryer set to 180ºCuntil golden and serve with the brown sauce on the side
- Grand Cru notes: A dark roast of pure South and Central American Arabicas, Arpeggio has a strong character and intense body, enhanced by cocoa notes.
