Egg Salad With Toasted Coriander Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with ice and plenty of cool water. Put the eggs in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover the eggs by 1 inch [2.5 centimeters]. Bring just to a boil over medium-low heat, and immediately remove from the heat. Let sit, for 5 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them in the ice bath to shock them and stop the cooking. Let cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs under running water, then coarsely chop.
• Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coriander seeds and toast until fragrant, swirling the seeds occasionally so they toast evenly, 30 to 45 seconds. Transfer to a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and grind to a coarse powder.
• Put the ground coriander in a medium bowl and add the eggs, mayonnaise, garlic, chile, chives, capers, salt, pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Mash with a potato masher and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
• Divide the egg salad among four slices of bread, spreading it out to cover. Top each one with another slice of bread, cut in half if you like, and serve.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F [200 degrees C]. Peel off and discard most of the outer layer of papery skin on the garlic, and cut off the top quarter of the bulb. Put the garlic on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it. Rub or brush with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt. Wrap in the foil and roast until the cloves feel soft and tender when pricked with a knife, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, carefully unwrap the foil and cool, about 15 to 20 minutes. To use, squeeze the cloves from their skins. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, onion, salt and pepper. Stir in eggs and celery. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• In a small skillet over high heat (or in a microwave oven at full power), toast coriander seeds and cumin seeds just until fragrant. Grind together using a mortar and pestle, and set aside. In a large bowl, combine savoy cabbage and red cabbage, and set aside.
• Prepare mayonnaise: In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk, vinegar, shallot, chives, reserved coriander and cumin and large pinches of salt and pepper. Beginning a drop at a time, whisk in oil. As it emulsifies, add oil a little faster, in a slow steady stream. When mixture is thick, whisk in more vinegar to taste; mayonnaise should be highly seasoned.
• Fold 1/3 cup mayonnaise into cabbage. There should be enough to coat cabbage generously; add more if necessary. Cover, and refrigerate for at least an hour. Before serving, adjust seasonings, adding more salt or vinegar as needed.

Steps:

• Put carrots in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander and cayenne. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Leave to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish.
• To serve, sprinkle with preserved lemon, if you like, and garnish with mint leaves.
