TEA-MARBLED EGGS WITH SOY BALSAMIC MAYONNAISE



Tea-Marbled Eggs With Soy Balsamic Mayonnaise image

Tea-marbled eggs are a time-honored part of Chinese cuisine. The outer shell of a hard-boiled egg is cracked (but not removed), and the egg is then soaked in tea, which gives it a lovely marbled appearance and subtle smoky flavor. We found traditionally cooked tea-marbled eggs - usually simmered for an hour - were too tough for our taste; this method yields more tender whites.

Categories     Tea     Egg     Cocktail Party     Halloween     Mayonnaise     Soy Sauce     Boil     Gourmet

Yield Makes 12 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large eggs
3/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
3 cups water
4 Lapsang souchong tea bags*
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Garnish: watercress sprigs

Steps:

  • Cover eggs with cold water by 1 inch in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan and bring to a rolling boil, partially covered. Remove from heat and let eggs stand, covered, 10 minutes. Transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water and let stand 5 minutes (to cool). Gently tap shell all over with back of a spoon to lightly crack (do not peel). Do not tap too hard or tea liquid will seep into shell instead of just staining cracks.
  • Bring soy sauce, sugar, and water to a boil in saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then add tea bags. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Add eggs (and more water if eggs are not completely covered by liquid) and simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let eggs stand in liquid, uncovered, until cool, then chill at least 2 hours. Lift eggs from liquid and peel. Reserve 2 tablespoons cooking liquid and discard remainder.
  • Whisk vinegar and reserved cooking liquid into mayonnaise and serve with eggs. Present eggs whole, then quarter for dipping. (Yolks may have a dark ring.)

MARBLED DEVILED EGGS



Marbled Deviled Eggs image

This is a " must " at our house during the holidays. Adjust any amounts or use your own favourite filling for the deviled eggs. Kids get wide eyed seeing the marbled eggs and as do the adults. I make a separate food coloured egg tray for the kids, they just don't care for any spices added. Cook time is the marbling / favouring time.

2 tablespoons sweet gherkins, chopped
3 tablespoons honey mustard (or your favourite)

Steps:

  • Submerge 6 eggs in beet juice, adding a few dashes of red food colouring.
  • Submerge 6 eggs in jalapeno juice, adding a few dashes of green food colouring Refrigerate 1- 2 days, marbling and flavour will intensify the longer left in juices and by adding more food colourings If using food colouring's only, place cracked eggs in jars large enough to submerge, checking on intensity of colours Remove eggs from juices, drain well and peel.
  • Split in halves, removing yolks.
  • Combine yolks, filling ingredients and any options, adjust to your taste.
  • Refill halves with mixture.
  • Sprinkle with any choice of toppings.
  • Refrigerate till ready to serve.
  • *Instead of deviling, I use my mushroom slicer to make fan out slices of the marbled eggs to garnish potato salade, very pretty touch.

MARBLED CHOCOLATE EGGS



Marbled Chocolate Eggs image

Use white chocolate to create a stunning marbled effect on these homemade chocolate Easter eggs. You could even use 3 different types of chocolate - plain, milk chocolate, and white - to create a tri-color effect! This recipe makes 2 or 3 large eggs or several smaller eggs, depending on your egg mold size. If you like, fill your chocolate eggs with smaller chocolate eggs or the candy of choice.

Categories     Desserts     Chocolate Dessert Recipes     White Chocolate

Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 3

18 ounces good-quality milk chocolate, chopped
4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
egg-shaped plastic mold(s)

Steps:

  • Place 3/4 of the milk chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted and has a temperature of 113 degrees F (45 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the remaining milk chocolate to temper it. Stir well until smooth and chocolate has a temperature of 86 degrees F (30 degrees C).
  • While the chocolate is cooling slightly, place the white chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the white chocolate, but it does not need to be tempered like the milk chocolate.
  • Drizzle the melted white chocolate into the egg molds using a spoon, in whatever pattern you like. Place the molds in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
  • Drizzle some of the melted milk chocolate over the white chocolate. Brush evenly over the entire surface of the mold with a pastry brush. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and add another layer of chocolate to each egg half. Chill for 10 minutes. Brush a third time with chocolate and chill for a final 10 minutes.
  • Unmold egg halves carefully and trim the edges with a sharp knife. Brush the edges with a little melted chocolate, then carefully bring two halves together to form a single egg. Set back in the mold carefully and chill until set, 10 to 15 minutes.

Fun to make and a nice addition to a Chinese meal, not just for decoration and they are always a talking point. The flavour is despite the spices not very strong--delicate is a better word. I like to serve them with the Chinese porridge/soup Congee.
