Ingredients
50g Salted butter
100g Plain flour
50g Polenta
3 Large free range eggs
150g Mature cheddar cheese grated
90g Sliced chorizo sausage chopped into small pieces
1 tbsp Nigella seeds
Here’s how
Melt the butter and 250ml of water together in a medium sized saucepan.
Once the water comes to the boil and the butter has melted, remove from the heat and add the flour and polenta.
Stir the mixture together for 1 minute, then add the eggs one at a time until all fully mixed in (I use an electric hand mixer for this)
Finally add the cheese and chorizo and stir together.
Place the mixture into the fridge for 1 hour to firm up.
Divide the chilled mixture into 30g portions and roll into balls. (use wet hands to help achieve a smooth finish)
Sprinkle each portion with nigella seed to help give a nice savoury flavour.
Chill the balls on a non stick baking tray for 1 hour before baking in a pre heated oven 200c for 20 minutes.
Enjoy these tasty snack with a chilled glass of wine for a beer.
