Add meat and nutmeg. Season. Spread in tray. Refrigerate until firm.

Shape into cylinders. Coat in egg then breadcrumbs. Chill again.

Deep-fry at 180°C for 4 minutes until golden. Serve with mustard.

Chef's Tip

Chill twice — once before coating and once after. This prevents the coating from splitting.
