Eggs marinated in beetroot with horseradish cream and smoked trout

Colored eggs – but without the shell! Thanks to the marinade made from beetroot, the hard eggs are particularly tasty and colorful.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE BEETROOT EGGS

Ingredients (4 servings)
750 ml water
250 ml apple cider vinegar
1 beet (raw or pre-cooked)
1 pinch of salt
spices of your choice: peppercorns, juniper berries, caraway seeds, whole
4-8 eggs

INGREDIENTS FOR THE HORSERADISH CREAM

Ingredients (4 servings)
100 ml whipping cream
1 pinch of salt
horseradish, freshly grated
1 pinch of black pepper

INGREDIENTS FOR SERVING

Ingredients (4 servings)
200 g baby leaf mixed salad
200 g smoked trout fillets
zest and juice of 1 organic lemon
olive oil
sea salt flakes
  • Mix the water, vinegar and the beet cut into 1-centimeter pieces, salt and spices in a pan and bring to boil for 1 minute. Leave to cool.
  • Cook the eggs in boiling water for 6 to 8 minutes. Rinse, peel and place in the cooled beetroot mixture. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for at least 2 hours, but preferably for 1 day. The length of time the eggs are stored determines the color intensity of the eggs, but also the taste.
  • Beat the whipped cream with a pinch of salt until stiff, mix with the horseradish and pepper and chill until ready to serve.
  • To serve, halve the eggs, place the washed salad on the plates, place the horseradish cream on top of the salad using two small spoons or a piping bag and garnish with the halved eggs, trout pieces, lemon zest and sea salt flakes.
  • For an additional marinade, simply mix 1 part lemon juice with 2 to 3 parts olive oil and drizzle over the salad.
