Do you fancy some Quail Eggs?
Happy day dear friends of this great Community, I hope you are well, in good health in the company of your loved ones. When was the last time you ate quail eggs?, because I forget the date, in Venezuela the quail egg is consumed as a delicacy, therefore its price is very high and inaccessible to many people.
These are my wonderful sponsors, they have very interesting articles, I am sure you will like them, be sure to visit them.
Usually the consumption of quail eggs is done in celebrations, served with pink sauce, this is the only way I've tried them in a meeting, but there is a very large variant of how they can be consumed, because of its size they are perfect for combinations with other dishes, make figures and show them in different ways. Researching on the Web I found many impressive recipes and images, from which I borrowed some to show them in this article.
As some of you know I am an animal production engineer (with double degree), you can see it here https://read.cash/@Frankmart/two-university-degrees-with-only-one-degree-73fed43e, one of the first productions I had at home were quails, they are easy to handle animals with a high production of eggs per day, I got to have between 100 to 200 quails is a very small space, therefore in our fridge there were always quail eggs.
How we used to prepare the quail eggs
First of all, I washed them with water and a little vinegar, if they were dirty, generally they were always clean because the cages had an inclination so that they would come out where the quails were without getting dirty.
In a pot, put enough water to completely cover the eggs you are going to cook, put it on the fire and let it boil.
When the water is boiling, that is, making bubbles, introduce the quail eggs, if you want the yolk soft with 4 minutes are enough, but if you want the yolk hard 10 minutes are necessary.
Then place the eggs in cold water, or you can cool them in the faucet.
A good way to remove the shell from the eggs is to roll them in a towel and turn them over on the counter with a little pressure, this way you can remove the shell easily, if there is any shell remains you can wash them and leave them completely clean.
Ready to serve with whatever you want, including the pink sauce.
Here is a variation to prepare them at home, when I can buy them, I will surely prepare them and show them to you.
