Prep time: 20 minutes + resting time
Cook time: 6-7 minutes.
Servings: 6 people
For the eggs:
- 6 medium eggs
- 3 pre-cooked red beets
- 1 teaspoon of vinegar
- 1 glass of water
For the hummus:
- 2 Hass variety Sicily Avocados
- 4 yolks from the hard-boiled eggs
- 1 teaspoon of tahini
- 2 teaspoons of lemon or lime juice
- Salt and pepper
To garnish:
- 2 yolks from the hard-boiled eggs
- Marjoram leaves
Method
- Place the eggs in a saucepan with cold water, bring to a boil and cook for about 6-7 minutes. Remove the eggs and immerse them in cold ice water for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the beets, water, and a teaspoon of vinegar into a blender cup and blend well until you get a smooth, not-too-dense purée.
- Peel the now lukewarm eggs and immerse them in the beet pulp, letting them rest in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
- The next day, remove the eggs from the beet pulp, rinse them, and cut them in half, removing the yolks.
- Process 4 of the yolks together with the other hummus ingredients using a hand blender and put the mixture into a pastry bag. Fill the cavities of the halved hard-boiled eggs and arrange them on a serving plate.
- Crumble the other two yolks with your fingertips and sprinkle the 'mimosa' over the hummus. Garnish with marjoram leaves and refrigerate until serving.
Extra tip:
Don't throw away the leftover beet purée; use it for a risotto!
