Eggs have a lot of meaning in Judaism.
The roasted egg represents the eternity of
life and how life gets renewed every year.
In Eastern Europe, the egg was the first thing
that you would eat at the seder.
So the first thing that you would do is you
would take all of your eggs and put them in
a pot of water.
Bring it to a boil.
And you just boil it for about half an hour or so.
Once they’re boiled, you remove them.
Then you peel them.
This is the hardest part is just peeling.
Then you put the peeled eggs back in the boiling
water with oil, about a half a cup,
pepper and salt.
And then you put the onions in.
Re-bring it to a boil and cook it for about 3 hours…
until the eggs turn very creamy.
Then you would put in a pound and a half of
spinach in the pot and you cook it down.
When it’s all done, you can see the onions
the flecks of onions, the olive oil and the
salt and pepper give it flavor.
And then I put them one on a plate with a little bit of spinach
and that’s the first thing that we eat for the passover meal.
