How to prepare colored boiled eggs?
Here is the easy procedure.
Let’s start by boiling our eggs with a drop of vinegar for about 8 minutes. After boiling them for this time, let them cool aside.
It’s time to prepare our 3 colorings:
Pink: we can use pre-boiled beetroots found at the supermarket, blend them with an immersion blender, and add some water.
Orange: Hot water and turmeric powder.
Green: Boil the spinach (frozen ones will work just fine) and blend them well with a bit of water using an immersion blender.
Put the three mixtures in 3 different jars tall enough to hold the eggs, or you can use large bowls.
Now carefully peel the boiled eggs and immerse them in the different colorings. Cover the jars with lids or the bowls with wrap and let them rest for at least 5 hours. The longer they stay immersed, the more the color will penetrate.
After the time has passed, take out the eggs and rinse them slightly before cutting.
We can sprinkle them lightly with chives.
How far in advance can I prepare the eggs?
I recommend preparing the eggs the night before so they can soak in the colors all night and be ready the next morning.
You can store the colored eggs in an airtight container and slice them just before serving.
