The Pink Egg Bento

[dreamshark]

Pink Eggs and ... beans? The beet-dyed eggs are really intended to be eaten with the salad tier, but one half was packed with the beans because that's where it fit. Salad tier also contains spinach, tomato, and cottage cheese. Entree tier - baked beans with chicken pot-stickers (microwave before eating).

Pickled eggs in beet juice are one of the most delicious foods in the universe. I envy you today.

You're familiar with this odd dish? I saw it on a bento site - didn't realize it was a part of the general national cuisine.

It's sometimes available in German Restaurants. It's a Pennsylvania Dutch (Deutsch) recipe to me, probably common in other cultures as well.

Anytime we finish a jar of cuke pickles, or my homemade beet pickles, I make pickled eggs. I love the wonderfully weird color combo of the pickled beet ones: magenta and yellow. I'm not sure where I learned about using the leftover pickling juice. I don't think it was my mother. Any way, it's like getting something really nice for free. Boil the eggs, peel them, and plunk them in the brine and into the fridge.
