Golden Pickled Eggs with Carrots
- 2 1/4 cups distilled vinegar
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 small yellow or white onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 small carrot, peeled into strips with a vegetable peeler
- 12 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
- Special equipment: 3 glass pint jars with lids
- Bring the vinegar, 3/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons salt, the coriander seeds, mustard seeds, sugar, bay leaf, onions, turmeric and pepper flakes to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar.
- Reduce the heat, cover and let the brine simmer for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pierce each egg all the way through about 6 times with a cake tester or toothpick.
- Put half the carrots in the bottom of 3 glass pint jars with lids.
- Add 2 eggs to each jar and then the remaining carrots.
- Ladle in enough brine to cover the eggs, add 2 more eggs to each jar and ladle in more brine to cover, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top.
- Close the jars, let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
- (The eggs will keep, covered by liquid and refrigerated, up to 5 days.)
