Egg paste sandwich

Egg paste sandwich

Sandwiches are made in many different ways. Any salad when put in between two pieces of bread becomes a sandwich. Similarly many meats, fish and sea food can be included in sandwiches. I have shown a recipe with chunky pieces of egg.

 Today I am going to make a paste out of the egg. I ground parsley with the egg which gave a green tint to the egg and the taste of parsley dominated the paste.

                 Recipe follows in detail with pictures.

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Serves: 3

Green chili, red chili, parsley and onion

Ingredients

Main 

3 hard boiled eggs

Others

1 onion finely chopped

2 sprigs of fresh parsley

1 green chili sliced thin

1 red chili finely sliced

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper powder

3 lettuce leaves

1 tablespoon butter

6 slices bread

Preparation

Make sure that the eggs are fresh. Please see my helpful hints Is the egg fresh?

Place the eggs in a medium size pan. Add water to cover the eggs. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool down and then remove the shells.

Adding ½ teaspoon of baking soda to a quart of water and boil the egg in this water, it will be easier to peel the shells off.  This may intensify the sulfur like flavor of the egg. Fresher the egg it is more difficult to peel.

Boiling the egg longer by 2 or 3 minutes to 12 or 13 minutes and then immersing the egg in iced water or storing in the refrigerator to chill will make it easier to shell the egg.

After cracking the top and bottom of the egg and rolling the egg with your palm on a table top will create numerous cracks on the shell and it will be easier to remove the shell thereafter.

After peeling the egg put it in an egg slicer. 

Egg slicer

 Cut the egg into small cubes by slicing on two sides.

Slice lengthwise

After cutting on both sides

Sliced both sides

When you cut along both sides egg is shredded into pieces.

 Use a hand blender to make a thick paste of the ingredients. Do not add any water or oil. The moisture in parsley and onion is sufficient to from the paste of suitable consistency. Set the paste aside.

Grinding into a paste

You can use toasted or untoasted bread to make the sandwich. 

After grinding

Spread butter on one side of the bread.  Then spread a thick layer of the egg paste on top of the butter. On another slice of bread spread a lettuce leaf and cover the bread with the egg paste on it. Slice the sandwich to your liking. That is all.
