Bunny tracks

Ingredients

• boiled eggs
• Kadarbiku beetroot juice
• mayonnaise
• salted or smoked salmon, etc. to put inside the egg if desired

Preparation

Cut the peeled eggs in half and remove the yolks. Crush the yolks, for example by pushing them through a strainer or grating finely. Add a bit of mayonnaise and enough beetroot juice to turn the yolks into a smooth pink cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Put a piece of salted salmon in each egg half. Transfer the coloured yolk mixture into a small pastry bag. Fill the egg halves and add four small dots to the edges of the egg for toes.

Beetroot eggs

Brightly coloured beetroot-dyed eggs for the Easter table! Nami-Nami recommends trying Kadarbiku beetroot juice.

Ingredients

• eggs
• Variant 1
• crushed garlic
• grated boiled beetroot (e.g. Kadarbiku)
• crushed cumin
• chopped dill if desired
• salt and lemon juice
• Option 2:
• Kadarbiku beetroot juice
• salt

Preparation

Boil the eggs (e.g. in a barely boiling water for 10 minutes), quickly cool them under cold water.

Option 1: beetroot eggs with boiled eggs

Season the grated beetroot with garlic, cumin, salt and lemon juice. Add dill if desired. Place the salad in a bowl. Peel the eggs and gently push them in the salad, so that they are fully submerged in the salad. Cover the bowl with a lid and put in the fridge for 12 hours to marinate/colour.
Remove the eggs from the salad, gently wipe them with damp kitchen paper. Cut the eggs in half and place them in a platter decorated with herbs.
Eat the beetroot salad as is. 🙂 Keeping the eggs in the beetroot marinade for longer than 24 hours is not recommended, as this will turn the yolk purple.

Option 2: with beetroot juice

Buy beetroot juice, season with salt. Place the boiled eggs inside the beetroot juice to colour. Eggs shown in the photo were in beetroot juice for about 2 hours.

Spotty beetroot eggs

Spotty beetroot eggs that slightly differ from classic beetroot eggs are inspired by the Chinese tea eggs. Nami-Nami recommends trying Kadarbiku beetroot juice.

Ingredients

• eggs
• beetroot juice
• salt

Preparation

Hard-boil the eggs, cool quickly under cold running water and strain. Slightly crack the shell with a spoon or hitting them on the table. Place the eggs inside beetroot juice seasoned with salt and leave them for 1–2 hours. Remove the eggs from the beetroot juice and peel carefully. The marbled beetroot juice pattern stays on the eggs for a few hours. After a while, the colour will absorb and turn the eggs evenly light pink. You should therefore prepare beetroot eggs 1–2 hours before serving.
