Sundays with Marlena Spieler

Although Egg salads are a part of deli style menu, chopped egg and onions is one of the oldest dishes in Jewish history according to Marlena Spieler. Some even say that it goes back to the Egyptian times and it is also considered an Ashkenazi  dish. (The Jews descended from the medieval Jewish communities along the Rhine in Germany from Alsace in the south to the Rhineland in the north. Ashkenaz is the medieval Hebrew name for this region and thus for Germany-Wikipedia)

Recipe: Egg Salad

Ingredients

Eggs – 3
White onion – 1/2 cup, diced
Mayonnaise- 2 T
Mild French Mustard – 1/2 tsp
English Cucumber- 1/4 cup, finely chopped
Parsley- 1 tsp
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Addition of English cucumber is our touch to this salad. We like to have something crunchy in the salad.
  2. Place the eggs in a saucepan with cold water and when it comes to a boil, reduce it to simmer for about 8-10 minutes. Switch of the stove and close with a lid.
  3. Peel the eggs and chop finely and put in a serving bowl.
  4. Add rest of the ingredients and fold it well.
  5. Garnish with parsley and chill it until you are ready to serve.

Variations

Add pickled cucumbers instead of fresh cucumber. Marlena in her recipe says you can use rendered chicken fat instead of Mayo.
