Dragon eggs

Yield: 1 dozen

Ingredients

Dragon eggs

  • 1 red cabbage

  • 1 dozen white eggs

  • vinegar (to enhance color, I have NO)

  • gold food coloring (or strong cocoa without sugar - to make dots on eggs)

Instructions

Finely chop the cabbage, and cook for 30 minutes over low heat. We leave the water, filter it, and let it cool. At this time, boil the eggs. When both the cabbage broth and the eggs have cooled, you can add 1 tbsp. vinegar (I have no) in a cabbage solution, put eggs in it, and leave overnight. If you have vinegar: take out the eggs to determine the desired degree of BLUE ... Put on a napkin in the morning, and sprinkle with gold paint.

Three small round candies arranged in a row on a light background. The photo shows three small round candies arranged in a row on a light background. They are coated with a crumbly layer of finely chopped nuts or breadcrumbs, giving them a textured and slightly rough appearance. The candies look homemade, with an uneven, natural surface. Inside, you can see bits of ingredients that resemble a mix of nuts and dried fruits, creating a dense, slightly grainy texture. The colors of the candies are warm, with shades of golden, brown, and creamy tones, suggesting the use of natural ingredients like almonds and dried apricots.
