Description

The marinated yolk was a trend some time ago, since then it has never gone out of fashion and from the gourmet tables of starred restaurants it has moved into the kitchens of foodies.

Preparing eggs is always easy, but it is necessary to follow all the steps and respect some rules to avoid ruining this very delicate ingredient.

The marinated yolk takes on different consistencies depending on the marinating time. The shorter the marinating time, the softer the egg will be inside. For a creamy yolk, the marinating should last about 3 hours and you can use this egg on a slice of bread with a bit of spinach quickly sautéed in a pan and a garnish of chives. To get a more consistent marinated yolk, the marinating time should be around 12 hours.

The egg marinated for all this time, takes on a consistency similar to that of truffle and can therefore be grated into flakes on first courses, it is therefore perfect to give consistency to a classic carbonara or to a refined and elegant risotto.

Here's how to prepare marinated egg yolk in just a few steps.

Procedure

1

In a paper bag mix well the sugar and salt. Put a bit of the salt and sugar mix in a glass bowl.

2

Break the eggs, one at a time, and carefully separate the yolk from the white. With a spoon, create a superficial hole in the marinating mix, then slide the yolk in. Once all the yolks are arranged, gently cover them with the rest of the salt and sugar. Put the bowl in the refrigerator and let the marinating do its work.

3

Once the marinating time has passed, look for the yolks being very careful not to break them. Take one yolk at a time with your hands and dip it in a bowl with room temperature water to remove the residues of salt and sugar that will remain attached.
