Ingredients
  • 12 boiled eggs (leftover from Easter egg cracking)
  •  6 tablespoons (150g) mayonnaise
  •  1 heaped tablespoon (25g) mild mustard
  •  2 ½ tablespoons (30g) finely chopped pickles
  •  2 tablespoons (20ml) lemon juice
  •  2 tablespoons (20ml) olive oil
  •  3 tablespoons (10g) finely chopped parsley
  •  1 level teaspoon (4g) salt
  •  ¼ teaspoon black pepper

 

For the red colour

  • 1 cup (350 ml) beetroot juice or 2 beetroots
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • a pinch of salt
Method
  1. Place the eggs in a pot with cold water and boil for about 10 minutes until firm. Alternatively, use leftover Easter eggs.
  2. Peel the eggs and cut them in half. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
  3. For the red colour: In a bowl, combine the beetroot juice, vinegar and salt. If beetroot juice is not available, peel the beetroots, cut them into cubes and boil them with 3 cups of water. Once cooked, strain the liquid and add the vinegar and salt.
  4. Place the egg whites in the beetroot mixture and leave them for 1 hour until they turn pink or red. Remove and gently pat dry. Arrange them on a serving plate.
  5. For the filling: In a bowl, mash the yolks with a fork and add the mayonnaise, mustard, pickles, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle and fill the egg whites, forming small rosettes.
  7. Garnish with parsley and serve.
