This recipe uses large eggs - for medium cook for 5 mins 30 secs; for small, 5 mins.
Step 1.
Prep your the ingredients for the marinade. Zest the lemon, thinly slice the cooked beetroot, smash the garlic cloves and half the red chills lengthways. Set aside them all aside.
Step 2.
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Gently lower in the eggs and simmer for 6 mins. Transfer to a bowl of iced water to cool. Once cool, peel the eggs.
Step 3.
In a bowl, combine the beetroot, garlic, lemon zest, chilli, za’atar, honey, red wine vinegar, water and salt. Mix well.
Step 4.
Place the peeled eggs into a clean container. Pour over the beetroot marinade, ensuring the eggs are fully submerged. Cover with a piece of kitchen paper to keep the eggs submerged.
Step 5.
Place the lid on the container and refrigerate for at least 3 hrs, preferably overnight, to allow the flavours to develop and the eggs to take on a vibrant hue.
These eggs will last for up to 4 days in the fridge, the flavour gets stronger each day.
Step 6.
When ready to serve, halve the eggs and drizzle with a little olive oil. Season with black pepper and, if using, crumble over some feta.
