Dry Curing Egg Yolks
There are many ways to cure eggs, and the practice has been around for thousands of years. You can use the Asian method of placing hard boiled shelled, eggs in clay and salt to brine overnight. By dry curing yolks separately you can turn the wobbly yolk into a hard disc that can be grated. The shavings are amazing over pasta and countless other dishes to add taste and richness. The soy curing method relies on soy sauce and mirin to transform yolks into firm, flavorful disks with a variety of uses.
Chef Kyle recommends infusing flavors and colors to make cured eggs even more unique. Beet juice adds amazing color and a hint of earthy flavor while vodka or gin infusions make ideal accompaniments for on-trend cocktails.
How to Use Them
Grate cured eggs over creamy soups with delicate flavors such as cauliflower or Jerusalem artichokes. They also go amazingly well with:
- A spring risotto or pasta with broad beans and fresh peas
- Pizzas with lardo just out of the oven
- Roasted corn cob with butter and lime
- Toast with cod liver and sautéed chanterelles
- Fish dishes with creamy lemony sauces
- Sweet lobster with beurre noisette
