Normally Starkizzer is the one who does the cooking around here, and for good reason! However, tonight I decided I wanted to try something on my own. Spicy pickled eggs!
I mixed and matched from various online sources to come up with the following:
12 Large Eggs
1 Whole Garlic
1 Red Onion
1 Medium Piece of Ginger
3 Whole Jalapeno Peppers
3 Whole Habanero Peppers
1 Tbsp Black Peppercorns
1 Tbsp Coarse Black Pepper
1 Tbsp Kosher Salt
Apple Cider Vinegar
Spare Pickle Jar
The Raw Materials:
Peeled Garlic:
Grated Ginger:
Whole Peppercorns:
Chopped Ginger:
Chopped Red Onion:
Chopped Jalapeņo:
Chopped Habanero:
Prepped and Ready:
Procedure:
Sanitize the jar and lid in boiling water. Hard boil and peel the eggs. (I boiled the eggs for 20 minutes and ended up with a couple broken eggs, so only 10 made it) Take two cups of apple cider vinegar and put it on the stove to boil. Combine everything else but the eggs (reserving some onions and peppers to add fresh at the end) and let the mixture boil then simmer for 10 minutes. Cool the mixture in an ice bath. Combine the eggs, pickling mixture, and fresh onions/peppers in the jar.
The finished product:
Now, I am waiting one week to let the pickling mixture do its magic. I will post the final results once the eggs are ready. I hope they are tasty!
