  • About

Nearly everyone likes a good egg salad sandwich. This egg salad is made special with the addition of pickled okra, though you could use almost any pickled vegetable for an equally delicious result. Plain white toast is a classic partner, but crackers are good alternatives.

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs, preferably free-range organic
  • ¼ cup (2 oz/60 g) <

Method

Fill a large saucepan three-fourths full with lightly salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Carefully slip the eggs into the water and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 7–8 minutes. Drain the eggs, transfer to a bowl, and add cold water to cover. When cool enough to handle, peel and chop coarsely.

In a bowl, combine the chopped eggs, okra, shallot, parsley
