Curried Egg Salad With Pickled Beets Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wrap the beets tightly in aluminum foil and roast until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven, uncover, and let sit until cool enough to handle. When cool, slip the skins from the beets and cut into eighths.
• In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, and pickling spice. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let sit for 2 hours for the flavors to develop. Add the eggs, onions, garlic, and beets and turn to coat evenly. Cover tightly and refrigerate, turning occasionally, until the eggs are a deep pink color, at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
• To serve, remove the eggs, beets, and onions from the marinade and arrange on a platter. Garnish with sprigs of dill and serve with sliced French bread.

Steps:

• In a large bowl mash eggs with a fork. Stir in diced celery and red pepper. In a separate bowl mix together the mustard, mayonnaise, roasted garlic, curry powder, salt and pepper. Add dressing to eggs, mix well. Mound 1/2 of mixture to make each sandwich on 1/3 of ciabatta.

• To hard boil eggs, place them on the bottom of a deep saucepan. Add enough water to cover. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover the saucepan and remove from the heat. Let the eggs sit for 15 minutes. Drain and let cool water run over them to stop the cooking process. Peel.
• To boil potatoes, fill a medium saucepan with enough water to cover them. bring to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, cover the pan, and lower the heat to medium. Boil until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
• Make the dressing: in a medium mixing bowl, stir together the garlic, ginger, cilantro, lemon juice, honey, mustard, yogurt and curry powder.
• Chop the hard-boiled eggs and place them in a salad bowl. If the potatoes are larger than walnuts, cut them into halves or quarters before adding them to the bowl. Similarly, if the cherry tomatoes are larger than walnuts, cut them into halves or quarters before adding them to the bowl, too. Toss in the celery, apple, almonds and raisins.
• Pour the dressing over the salad and mix gently but thoroughly. Cover and chill before serving, about 2 hours.

• When cool enough to handle, trim, and peel the beets. Slice into rounds and toss in a medium bowl with the onion.
• In a small saucepan bring the sugar, vinegar, water, and salt to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt and immediately pour over the beets and onion. Refrigerate overnight before serving.
