Pickled Eggs
- 2 1/4 cups distilled white vinegar
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 small yellow or white onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1/2 to 1 Fresno or other hot red chile, thinly sliced
- 12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- Tips from 9 inner celery ribs
- 6 sprigs dill
- Special equipment: 3 glass pint jars with lids
- Bring the vinegar, 3/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons salt, the coriander seeds, mustard seeds, sugar, onions and chiles 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 2 eggs in each of 3 glass pint jars with lids, and tuck the celery and dill in around them.
- 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 and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
- To serve, halve or quarter the eggs, and spoon some pickling liquid and vegetables over the top.
- (The eggs will keep, covered by liquid and refrigerated, for up to 5 days.)
