Pickled Quail Eggs #NationalPickleMonth

By

July is National Pickle Month! And, as we all know, I'm a little pickle obsessed. I have pickled everything from blueberries and pumpkin to radishes and ramps. So, I invited some blogging friends to join me in kicking off the month. Here's the pickle line-up...

Pickled Quail Eggs 

I had received some quail eggs from friends and was excited to pickle them. Another friend said that she had tasted pickled quail eggs recently. I piped up, "I have some quail eggs!" Of course you do, she said.

Ingredients


  • 12 quail eggs
  • 1 shallot, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 C vinegar (I used white vinegar)
  • 1/4 C water
  • 1 T sea salt
  • 1 t organic granulated sugar
  • 1 t dill seeds
  • 1 t red pepper chile flakes
  • sprigs of fresh thyme
  • Also needed: sterile jar with lid

 Procedure

Place quail eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool in the cooking water for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse. When cool enough to handle, peel and set aside.


Place dill and chile flakes in your sterile jar. Layer in sliced shallots, peeled eggs, and fresh thyme.

Combine vinegar, water, salt, and sugar in a sauce pan. Bring to a simmer. Swirl until the sugar and salt is completely dissolved. Pour the hot liquid over the eggs. Cover with a lid, then marinate for at least 24 hours before serving.


I still haven't decided if I will use these on a cheeseboard or as a garnish for some 4th of July Bloody Marys. We'll see. Stay tuned...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

By
To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P
