Call them what you will... odd-looking, old-fashioned, but downright delectable. Pickled eggs are simple to prep and even simpler to devour.
A traditional deli-snack and appetiser all around the world, pickled eggs are perfect for when you're craving a little something salty.
Of course, eggs are great vehicles for your favourite flavour bombs. When pickling your eggs, you could add whatever spice mix you like. (The below is just a suggestion.)
So, ready to master the classic art of how to pickle eggs?
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 1 ½ cups vinegar
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 tbsp mixed pickle spices (mustard seeds, pink peppercorn, allspice, cloves)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 bay leaf
Method
- Place eggs into a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to the boil and simmer for 4 minutes.
- Drain off the hot water and refresh the eggs under running cold water. Peel eggs and place into a sterilised pickle jar.
- In a small saucepan, heat the water, vinegar, spices, bay leaf and garlic and bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat, cool slightly before pouring over the eggs, seal the jar and refrigerate for 2-3 days before serving as a snack, part of a meal or barbecue.
Notes
Serve with a wholegrain bread roll and a side salad for a balanced meal.
For extra spice, add one red chilli.
