• Pickled Eggs

    From Tiny@CAPCITY2 to All on Fri Sep 27 04:34:00 2024
    Hi All,

    I recently got into home made pickles again, did a batch
    of cauliflower and of course eggs. I love slicing a pickled
    egg on toast for breakfast, with a few slices of pickled onion.

    I don't have a recipe but I've been using something close to
    this with great results. (size is 1 pickle jar).

    5 hardboiled eggs peeled.
    1 medium onion sliced in big chunks
    1 small carrot sliced.
    handful of peeled garlic. Slice into the cloves
    3 hot peppers sliced. with seeds. (You choice on pepper)
    Handful of rainbow peppercorns
    1 bay leaf (to be fancy)
    1 cup of water
    1 cup of white vin
    1/4 cup sugar (You can increase this if you want it does not
    make the pickles sweet)
    Salt.

    Bring to a simmer for 5 mins or so, let cool chuck everything else
    in the jar poor over liqued. If you need to top it up a bit, I always use
    AC Vin just for that slight flavour.

    The hard part is waiting. Best after 2 weeks, however they are darn
    tasty after 1.

    I never thought about eating pickled eggs. Considering the way eggs go when aged, it never occured to me.

    I have been pickling this season. Got some garlic and onion jarred and have been slowly consuming in the fridge.

    Did some kraut too.

    Can I ask what pickled egg tastes like?

    Nice. I love kraut but I'm not brave enough for fermented yet. Just pickles. :)

    It depends on your brine. My current batch is pretty spicy as I threw in a bunch of bird chili's and various other ones I found cheap at the market.

    I don't recomend a store bought one unless you like the flavour of nothing but white vinegar.

    Use a small mason jar, and make your pickle brine chuck a hard boiled and peeled egg or two in it, wait a week and give it a shot. 2 Weeks is the recomended wait time, but I've never been able to wait longer then a week. LOL

    Fermented foods are really good for you. My parents love sauerkraut. I
    just can't get past its strong bitter taste as I seem to taste bitterness
    above all other flavors.

    Something to haunt your nightmares:

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake
    Categories: Chocolate, Cakes
    Yield: 16 Servings

    2 1/4 c Flour, Unbleached, Sifted
    1/2 c Cocoa, Baking
    1 ts Baking Powder
    1 ts Baking Soda
    1/4 ts Salt
    2/3 c Butter Or Regular Margarine
    1 1/2 c Sugar
    3 lg Eggs
    1 ts Vanilla
    1 c Water
    2/3 c Sauerkaraut *

    MMMMM-----------------CREAMY CHOCOLATE FROSTING----------------------
    1 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate
    3 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
    1 tb Milk
    1 c Confectioners' Sugar
    1/8 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Vanilla Extract

    * Sauerkraut should be rinsed and drained thoroughly and then chopped
    coarsely.
    ~---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and
    salt; set aside. Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl until
    light and fluffy, using an electric mixer set at medium speed. Add
    eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in
    vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with water to creamed
    mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in sauerkraut.
    Spread batter in greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.

    Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 35 minutes or until cake tests done.
    Cool in pan on rack. Frost with Creamy Chocolate Frosting. Cut into
    squares.

    CREAMY CHOCOLATE FROSTING: Melt chocolate in a custard cup in hot water.
    Cool slightly. Combine chocolate, cream cheese, milk, confectioners'
    sugar, salt, and vanilla in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at high
    speed until smooth and creamy.

    NOTE: This is one of those dishes that sound absolutely horrible, but
    tastes great. It is also one of those recipes that is a classic but you
    can never find in most cookbooks. I have fooled my kids with this as well
    as seen it done on TV. Everyone thinks that the sauerkraut is coconut.
    So be sure to rinse and drain the sauerkraut several times when you make
    this recipe.

    MMMMM

    I should have explained better. I love fermented foods, I'm just not brave enough to try making my own yet. Although you'd think it wouldn't bother
    me I used to make toilet wine all the time.

    Hrmmm. I don't think so, but if someone else made it I'd try it.

    That was me for a long time. Brad Leone's kraut video pulled me out of the muck. I don't really like his public persona since but that one video changed the course of my diet.

    I live in the US and have never seen a pickled egg on a shelf. Only recently heard about it once in a movie where a guy walks into a pub, asks for a pickled egg and something else and gets shot in the head. Forgot the movie, but thought it was weird he'd ask for a pickled egg in a pub. But then, I've never been in an English pub.

    week. LOL

    I'd need to eat one someone made before I decide to pickle an egg. I'd have to like eating it before anything - and I'm really skeptical. At the moment I'm day one of a three day fast, so naturally I'm doing much recipe reading.

    I'll check the recipe echoes for pickled recipes.

    Well if you ever get to the Toronto area I normally have some in the fridge.

    If you like pickled things, and you like a hardboiled egg. Combine the
    two in flavour. It's really quite good.

    Mine take at least a week to be good. Two weeks is the best that

    just put vinegar on a hard boiled egg IMO.

    more in any food that has vinegar in it.

    Title: Marie Becker's Potato Stew
    Categories: Vegetables, Ceideburg, Bacon, Smoked
    Yield: 6 Servings

    Stephen Ceideburg
    1/2 lb Slab bacon
    3 tb Butter or light oil of your
    -choice
    3 tb Flour
    4 To 5 cups, scalding hot
    -light chicken broth or
    -water
    2 lb Potatoes, whole if
    -fingerlings, or cut up if
    -larger, peeled
    Salt and freshly ground
    -pepper, to taste
    1 Mediterranean bay leaf
    10 Parsley sprigs, tied into a
    -bundle
    1 Garlic clove, chopped
    3 tb Chopped parsley leaves

    For a strong smoked taste, do not blanch the bacon; for a light taste,
    blanch it 7 to 8 minutes in cold water.

    Cut bacon into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut slices into 1/3- inch wide
    lardoons, crosswise. Put into a cast-iron or enameled cast-iron pot
    and render over medium-low heat until light golden. Remove lardoons
    to a plate; drain off all fat in pan and replace it with the butter.
    Heat well, then add flour and cook to a golden roux, 4 to 5 minutes.
    Whisk in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, stirring. Add lardoons,
    potatoes, salt and pepper and the herb bundle. Reduce heat to a
    simmer, cover (keeping lid slightly askew), and cook 20 to 25
    minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Add garlic and parsley.
