Step-by-step recipe
Step 1:
Place the onion peel in a saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the broth steep overnight.
Step 2:
Add salt and vinegar to the infused broth and stir.
Step 3:
Wash and dry the eggs thoroughly.
Step 4:
Glue lightly dampened leaves, blades of grass, or any other natural decorative elements onto the egg, wrap it in a piece of nylon, and tie it with string. Decorate each egg this way, however you like.
Step 5:
Place the eggs in a saucepan so that the broth covers them completely, put on the fire, bring to a boil, cook for 7 minutes, then leave in the broth until cool.
Step 6:
Remove the eggs from the broth, remove the nylon, wipe and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
Cooking tips
The more husks you take, the richer the decoction will be.
If you don't have a lot of eggs, don't peel them - this will prevent the eggs from hitting each other while boiling.
