eggs

The Mexican spice achiote (annatto) has a wonderful ability to colour food yellow. Its often used in the manufacture of margarine, butter and cheese to achieve a golden colour. If you steep shelled hard boiled eggs in an achiote water salution they will turn a beautiful yellow colour and take on...

i make these periodically mainly for family and friends. Mg showed some eggs she stuffed but not scotch eggs,these come deep fried with a beef sausage meat wrapped around the egg. I put a wee bit of tomato relish on the meat to wrap around the egg. Russ

Classic carbonara has egg yolk, Pecorino Romano, guanciale, black pepper, pasta and maybe some pasta water, that's it. But, it seems like sometimes you end up with scrambled eggs and pasta. This method virtually eliminates that possibility. This recipe also is not classic in that it uses...

There are different ways to prepare this, but all have one thing in common: a LOT of parsley. I broke somewhat with tradition because I really wanted to include preserved lemon in the recipe. @morning glory: I believe I had this idea a few days ago, when I decided to make this, but I might have...

You really don’t need mayonnaise for this potato salad. The sour tang of pickled lemon and the deep umami of the anchovy are lifted by the freshness of the parsley. All that is needed is some good olive oil to bring all the ingredients together. The chilli flakes are optional but add piquancy...

Help, I'm trying to make an egg custard tart and the custard always turns out runny with clear liquid. I'm using whole milk and I've tried with whole eggs and just egg yolks, whole eggs seem better but not by much. Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? Or does anyone have a fail...

Yesterday we visited a local farm shop and saw they had some goose eggs for sale. They weren't cheap (£1.99 each) but its years since we last had goose eggs so we bought a couple. They taste the same as hens eggs, but are more intensely flavoured and the yolks are huge. Here they are with a...

You might well ask why you would want a square egg. There are one or two reasons. Firstly, kids love them and and any guests you have will be amused. Imagine those square Scotch Eggs or Square Devilled Eggs on a buffet table. Secondly, they fit nicely into a square slice of bread for a sandwich...

I have a hunch not many people are going to try this - and perhaps its an acquired taste but I love them. It couldn't be easier to do so you could make just one egg to try it out if you want to know how it tastes. Just pop a shelled hardboiled egg in a mug of strong coffee and leave overnight...

do you put sliced tomatoes in yours, I'm told you either do or you don't. I do add tomatoes, they add a moist factor to the pie. I prick the bottom of the pastry then add eggs then bacon then tomato. S and p then pastry on top. How do you do yours. I always make one if we are going to the races...

We could maybe use anything egg shaped, real eggs, whether you blow them yourself or buy preblown shells, plastic eggs, Styrofoam eggs, sugar eggs, wooden eggs, paper mache eggs, cake eggs, chocolate eggs, etc. If we want to tie it into cooking, we could require a dish that ties into the theme...

Ok I can't for the life of me get my eggs to turn out. Iv stopped using frylight ( as posted in another thread) and now I'm using olive oil. I thought that would help but I guess me and frying pans don't get along lol. At first I thought I needed a new pan so I got a saute pan,it was the only...

My mailbox is always stuffed with menus from local restaurants. Most of them deliver. The most recent menu was from a pizza place that delivers beer and wine with your order, if you choose. An interesting item on the menu is egg Gondola pizzas. There are four varieties. The pizza dough is shaped...

we recently spent 12 days on holiday with son and his family. His wife is a hard worker raising 3 kids and working full time as well. We go away every year at Xmas. I do all the cooking to give my d.i.l a break. She told me she loves the break. I was commenting on eggs with satnav, and got me...

In another thread, eggs in jelly were mentioned - I can't find the link at the moment. A few members thought it sounded horrible - but it is a classic if somewhat old fashioned French dish. As I love eggs I thought I'd try it. This is first attempt. I could do better, I think, but it did taste...

In the USA, it seems that boiled eggs served in eggcups are not commonly seen and I gather that many homes don't possess eggcups. In the UK almost everyone will have eaten eggs this way. They are popular for breakfast - the 'soldiers' are fingers of bread or toast to dip. So a quick poll... How...

I think I'm going to try my hand at Egg Drop Soup tomorrow. I took out some bone in chicken breasts to make my own chicken stock. I love eggs. This is one of my favorite soups. I've never made it before. I figure tomorrow is as good as time as any. I'll post, and change this to a "recipe"...

Egg nog time is not too far away now. What do you do for egg nog? Do you like to make it yourself of just buy it? Whatever you do, it is a pretty delicious & delectable drink! It takes great skill to make it. I've never made it that I can remember. But what is YOUR take on this luscious...

Having created a delicious summer menu last weekend*, we are left with half a dozen egg whites. What do folk on here use them for? Excluding meringues!!! (a total waste of time, sugar and energy altho I appreciate some enjoy their overly sweet lightness!) *salmon and avocado terrine baked...
