A sharp row of halved eggs as satellites on a pickle line: tension and connection on your plate.
A row of sharply marinated halved eggs on a line of spicy pickle and tangy onion, forming the silhouette of a satellite chain. This visualizes the satellite network Ukraine is waiting for, with tension and sharp flavors reflecting the current situation.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 4 large pickles
- 1 red onion
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black peppercorns

- 1 tsp chili flakes
- fresh dill, for garnish
Method
- Boil the eggs for 8 minutes, cool in cold water, peel, and halve lengthwise.

- Cut the red onion into thin half rings. Mix with vinegar, sugar, salt, and peppercorns and let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Mix mustard, olive oil, and chili flakes into a dressing.
- On each plate, place a halved pickle as the base line, then lay the halved eggs, rounded side up, in a straight line as satellites.
- Distribute the marinated onion between the eggs as connection lines.

Serving notes
- Serve on a long rectangular plate for the satellite effect.
- Let the eggs slightly overlap for a chained look.
