Red Salted Egg Salad Recipe
Tuesday, December 25th, 2007
A traditional Filipino delicacy, red eggs are made from duck eggs which are buried in salt for several weeks to make them salty. They get their name from the color of the shells, which are dyed red, perhaps to distinguish them from other types of egg. The best red eggs are said to be from Pateros, a town known for its duck raising industry. In this salad, the saltiness of the red eggs is balanced by the eggplants, tomatoes and onion.
