Pickled Quail Eggs - Dill Pickling
"One of the advantages of quail eggs is they pickle so much faster than chicken eggs. You can buy pre-hard cooked quail eggs in cans at Asian grocery markets. Liquid volumes are approximate. For the pickle juice, just save old dill pickle jars with their liquid. Preparation time does not include marinating time. These will come out nicely yellowish-green."

I joined this site back in 2007 when it was Recipezaar. I cook 90% of my own food from scratch, and have lost 40 pounds so doing. I buy most of my summertime/fall veggies from farmers' markets, don't eat much gluten or grains -- but if I am dining with friends, I do eat what I am served, except for tree nuts, commercial baked goods from supermarkets or chains (I react badly to these), and I tend to avoid sweets. Yes, you can train yourself to appreciate sweets far less! I grow some of my own food, but this is limited due to lack of full sun. I also enjoy seafood (brain food!), eggs, and some pastured meats. I'm getting more into fermented foods. Sensitivities: All the tree nuts I actually LIKE. Sigh. Fiddlehead ferns. Liquid egg product. Most commercially baked pastries and donuts and cakes.
