I first heard of and made scotch woodcock from Jamie Oliver’s magazine, faithfully following the unfamiliar recipe. Today I just pleased myself. And I did have another goose egg 🙂
Scotch Woodcock with Bonnet
1 knob butter
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 celery branch, thinly sliced
1 goose egg, beaten
Salt and pepper
Scotch bonnet, sliced into strips
Melt the butter in a saute pan, add the scallion and celery, then sweat for 5 minutes. Add the egg to the pan, salt and pepper, than soft scramble. Serve over toast, sprinkling with the scotch bonnet.
Love the scotch bonnet…I am compeltely addicted to chilies!
Me too 🙂
Great idea…..I’ve got a feeling that Scotch bonnet might be just a little too hot for me!
Baby!
Thanks for contributing to my education… I didn’t know what a scotch bonnet was – cute name 😉
They are cute chillies.
I went to look them up yesterday and they are indeed cute!
Nice dish, Rosemary. I would imagine the Scotch Bonnet slices gave it a considerable kick and am rather surprised you found them in France.
Thank you Richard. I can get them at two places; the Asian food stall in the farmers’ market and a supermarket called Fresh something 🙂
I have never seen a recipe posted for Scotch Woodcock, although my grandmother used to make it. Interestingly enough, it seems her version wasn’t authentic as the eggs were in a cheese/pimento sauce & served over toast – which I loved. I’m going to have to find her recipe, which is written in her own hand!
Find the recipe and share! It sounds delicious.
Good idea – I will. My brothers won’t eat it as adults but they liked it as children. As for me – I haven’t made it in a while – but I still love it!!!
Blissfully simple and yet genius too.
Thank you Keith.
What a lovely breakfast that would make this morning.. just missing that Scotch Bonnet!
ps.. any word on your lovely Jade??
Thank you Barbara. No word.
Scotch woodcock reminds me of Welsh rarebit in that there is no woodcock and no rarebit either! Still looks delicious and I love the addition of a little heat to make things interesting.
Am also sending you very big hugs, Rosemary.
Thank you Daisy. I needed them.
That looks great. I can honestly say I have never eaten a goose egg. Probably time to remedy that. 😉
Ah, this should work for my husband. And they have scotch bonnets at the co-op
Scotch bonnets are not that hot! They are somewhere in the middle of chillies for babies and Thai chillies.
They would blow me out of the water! 🙂
Anything spicy is right up my alley. What a great breakfast.
Thank you Amanda.
I also didn’t know what a scotch bonnet was…This recipe makes me really hungry!! Looks delicious!!!
Thank you Serena. I first had scotch bonnets in Haiti with deep fried pork (griot).
sounds nice! 🙂
Reblogged this on angierob25.
I didn’t know what a scotch bonnet was either.. But it looks like a healthy meal.. c
My mouth burns just looking at this… in a good way of course.
Burning lips tell you that it’s the right chilli 🙂
