A delicate savoury flavour infuses these slow-cooked eggs, but it is their looks that really impress. The natural dye in onion skins seeps through the cracked eggshells, leaving the whites gleaming and veined like marble.
Ingredients
6 large shallot or onion skinshandful 3 tablespoons
Method
Wash the eggs well and choose a pan that will hold them in a fairly snug single layer. Put the shallot skins at the bottom and sit the eggs and other ingredients on top with a pinch of salt. Cover with water.
Bring to the boil, cover and lower the heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon, cool under running water and bash them lightly all over on a hard surfac
