Ingredients
- 5 red cabbage leaves
- 1/3 cup vinegar
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 5 large eggs
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp mustard
- Salt and pepper (optional)
- Slices of radish, Fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Red Cabbage: Start by removing 5 leaves of red cabbage and shredding or chopping them into fine strips. Place the shredded cabbage in a cooking pan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the cabbage has turned a light color (almost white). Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Cook the Eggs: While your cabbage is boiling, bring a pot of water to a rapid boil. Carefully add the 5 eggs and boil for 8-10 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely. After a few minutes, peel the eggs.
- Make the Pickling Brine: Once the cabbage is cool, drain the liquid (this is your pickling liquid!). To the drained cabbage liquid add 1/3 cup vinegar, 2 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
- Pickle the Eggs: After peeling, place the hard-boiled eggs in the bowl with the pickling brine. Make sure they are fully submerged. Let them marinate for about 1.5 to 2 hours.
- Prepare the Filling: After marinating, remove the eggs from the brine and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Add 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper (to taste) to the yolks. Mash together until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Eggs: Use a spoon or piping bag to fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. For a pop of color and presentation, top each deviled egg with a slice of radish and a sprinkle of chopped chives!
- Enjoy: Arrange your beautifully colored Deviled Eggs on a serving platter. These are sure to be a hit at your Easter gathering!
