Preparation of Poached Egg on Braised Red Cabbage

  • We begin the preparation by slicing the onion and cabbage into julienne strips.

  • Put them in a large pan with salt, 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and half a glass of water.

  • Braise the vegetables over moderate heat, covered, for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Once cooked, transfer them to 4 individual serving bowls and keep warm while we prepare the eggs.

  • Meanwhile, put a small pot with water up to 3/4 on the stove and bring to a boil.

    In another bowl, spread out a piece of plastic wrap, grease it with a little oil, and spread it around.

  • Carefully pour the egg inside.

  • Gather the four corners of the wrap together.

  • Twist them tightly like a candy wrapper, make sure it’s very tight.

  • Immerse the package in boiling water for about 3 or 4 minutes, holding it with the long tongs.

  • After the time has passed, carefully open the plastic wrap and pour the egg onto the cabbage, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Plate and serve immediately hot.

Storage.

You can store the cabbage alone for 3 days in the fridge, but I advise against storing the egg, as it would lose all its fluidity.
