Ostrich eggs are huge. They are so large that sometimes they can be equal in weight to two dozen medium-sized chicken eggs. In addition, ostrich eggs are very thick and have a thick shell. Considering their thickness and volume, their preparation is different from the culinary processing of chicken eggs.
It is necessary
- - ostrich egg
- - butter knife
- - culinary hammer
- - frying pan
Instructions
Step 1
Take a paper towel and fold it several times until it is thick enough to hold the ostrich egg.
Step 2
Place the egg on a folded paper towel. Using a butter knife, break a piece of the shell at the top. Then, using a scratching motion, punch a few holes in this area. The indentations should be deep enough for the knife blade to enter completely.
Step 3
Move the butter knife over one of the grooves you created. Using a rubber or metal culinary hammer, hit the knife handle once or twice. Move to another hole and do the same. Continue repeating this step until a piece about 2 to 3 centimeters in diameter breaks off the shell.
Step 4
While the contents of the ostrich egg are still in the shell, loosen the yolk inside. You can safely make sudden movements. Don't expect the yolk to come out through the small hole you made. That will not happen. You must beat for a very long time so that the contents of the egg can flow out freely. If you want to keep the yolk intact and do not plan to use the shell in the future, you can simply crack the egg through the hole made and drain its contents.
Step 5
Turn the egg over, with the broken part down, over the container you want to move its contents to. Turn it and shake it lightly so that the white and yolk flow out more easily.
Step 6
You can cook an ostrich egg just like a regular chicken egg. For example, fry it with onions, vegetables and bacon.
Step 7
Preheat a skillet over low heat, add a few slices of chopped bacon and let it brown slightly. Add finely chopped onions and your favorite vegetables (tomatoes, peas, corn, zucchini, etc.), and let them brown a little.
Step 8
Pour the ostrich egg on top, quickly stir it with the rest of the pan (so that the ingredients are evenly spaced).
Step 9
Fry over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
