On Sham El Nessim, brightly coloured eggs mark the season’s renewal. These beet-stained devilled eggs capture the joy and freshness of the day. Dyed with nothing but boiled beetroot and a splash of vinegar, they are a simple symbol of new life and just right for sharing alongside herring and spring onions (scallions) and the crisp air of spring.
