A very easy recipe for delicious eggs pickled in beer, vinegar, and spices. Great to add to salads!
INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):
- 24 small hard-cooked eggs
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle beer
- 2 cups vinegar
- 1 tablespoon pickling spice
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
PREPARATION:
Place eggs in a large stock pot and cover with cold water. You may need to cook the eggs in 2 batches if you do not have a pot large enough. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover, and let stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool under cold running water, and peel. Pierce each egg with a knife or fork to assist in the absorption of liquid.
Transfer eggs to a large glass jar or other deep, sealable glass container. Place beer, vinegar, pickling spice, and parsley flakes together in a bowl. Pour over eggs until fully submerged. (Be sure to select a container in which the eggs are completely covered, or add additional pickling liquid, if necessary.) Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 days before using. Can be sealed and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in pickling liquid.
