Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tablespoons Goose fat or unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- as desired Rustic bread or crackers (for serving)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
While the eggs are boiling, finely dice the onion.
In a skillet over medium heat, heat the goose fat or unsalted butter. Add the diced onion and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Once the eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice them in half.
In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine the hard-boiled eggs, caramelized onions, mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture in the food processor (or mash with a fork in the bowl) until the texture is creamy with small chunks. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Transfer the egg dip to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve the Zsidotojas with rustic bread or crackers. Enjoy!
