So pretty~
I ♥ these hard boiled eggs~
We watch a French TV show...Kampaï.. every week ..and last week they featured these eggs..Dr.Richard Béliveau is an expert on Cancer and Nutrition.Lately he was on a team of doctors that invented medication that can penetrate the brain and cure~.. (brain tumors etc) It was very interesting to hear him talk about this..it shows great hope for Parkinson's ,Alzheimer's.. certain types of cancers.. The medication is presently being reviewed by the FDA.
He is humble and so smart.. Just a pleasure to watch ..his co -hosts are a chef Stefano Faita .. the owner of Dante,(the son),a fabulous Italian Quincaillerie.. that features an eclectic mix of high end kitchen items in the heart of the Jean -Talon market area.. and other things:)And a well known "vedette" ,Mitsou..
They make an enjoyable team.. and their guests are always interesting..
These sounded a bit different than our regular tea stained eggs.. And I love the look of Star Anise:)
Boil your eggs ap 10 mins.. ..Cool... crack gently by hand and return to a pot ..
Cook in a mixture of black tea..soya sauce and star anise~I cooked mine for 1 hr..on gentle..When you peel them they are so pretty.. a hint of soya and anise.. dipped in a lime curry mayo..they're an added treat at lunch~Everyone turns out differently~ I omitted the salt in my mixture as my soya salt was salted.

These are really beautiful. I might be tempted and I don't even eat hard-cooked eggs!
ReplyDeletethe egg cup is so cute and they look tasty too!
ReplyDeleteOriginal !
ReplyDeleteYou have the gift, Monique. Your photos are always wonderful.
ReplyDeleteJ'avais fait ça il y a un moment mais si c'est vraiment joli, gustativement parlant, je ne suis pas convaincue.

Comme c'est beau. Quand j'ai vu le Marché Jean Talon, je suis devenu bien excité. Je retourne à Montréal au mois de Septembre, je vais sûrement faire un tour chez Dante.
ReplyDeleteYou even make hard boiled eggs beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely. I can envision an entire bowl full of these eggs at a family brunch.

Pretty! I LOVE these boiled eggs... :)
ReplyDeleteI made boiled eggs today.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I not come here first?!!!
They are really beautiful, Monique. I would imagine a plateful would look spectacularly on a table... all those mosaic patterns, each a little different... great inspiration... how i love hard boiled eggs for lunch!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always wonderful Monique...Great idea !
ReplyDeleteMonique those are absolutely beautiful! I love the sound of the mixture that you have used to tea stain them. It sounds quite delicious and well, like I said, they look fabulous, as always! xxoo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Monique! And I love the way you've presented it. I've never tried doing this, but think I should after reading your ingredient list!
ReplyDeleteDear Monique, I love those crackled eggs. I wanted to make them for Easter last year, but Thumper voted for plain, colored eggs, instead.
ReplyDeleteI must learn to listen to MY inner imp.
In any case, your eggs are a work of art! And the glass egg cup is too gosh darn pretty.
Monique, You are the only one I know that can make anything beautiful, even a hard boiled egg.

Pretty, pretty eggs! They are now saying that an egg a day is just fine for us too. The hint of flavors must be so tasty and the lime curry sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love that egg cup - I have it too!
Oh, you make a boiled egg into a piece of art, even your star anise look like art. The lime curry sounds wonderful, what a fun punch of flavor that would be. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...the light is heavenly!
ReplyDeleteI love that show. They are a great team.
ReplyDeleteWow, pretty indeed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful touch, Monique. Beautiful photos and mosaic. I'm going to try these. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteWho knew an egg could look like art?! Love your egg cup & lovely lighting!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the egg cup? I love it!
ReplyDeletedo you cook the egg for one hour in the mixture? Or the mixture for one hour and then dip the egg ? They look beautiful
