Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 small red onion
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 bunch fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon sumac
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (optional)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 9-10 minutes.
Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs into a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them into quarters or wedges.
Thinly slice the red onion and place it in a small bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to reduce its sharpness. Drain and set aside.
Dice the tomato into small cubes and finely chop the parsley leaves. Discard the parsley stems.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced eggs, drained onions, diced tomatoes, and chopped parsley.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of half a lemon, sumac, salt, black pepper, and Aleppo pepper (if using) to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the egg mixture and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Serve the egg salad immediately as a light meal or side dish, ideally with warm flatbread or fresh crusty bread.
