Egg and Gribenes Spread

This savoury egg and gribenes spread is a refined take on a classic Ashkenazi comfort food. By combining hard-boiled eggs with rich schmaltz and crispy chicken cracklings, known as gribenes, this dish offers a wonderful depth of flavour and a satisfying variety of textures. The addition of fresh celery provides a clean crunch, while the macerated shallot and lemon juice cut through the richness of the fats for a perfectly balanced bite.

As a protein-rich, diabetes-friendly option, this spread is excellent for those looking to manage blood sugar levels without sacrificing flavour. It works beautifully served on seeded crackers, rye bread, or tucked into chicory leaves for a lighter snack. This recipe is a fantastic way to enjoy traditional flavours in a homemade dish that is both nourishing and deeply satisfying.

Ingredients for Egg and Gribenes Spread

  • 4 huevos grandes

  • 1/2 Spanish onion, finely diced

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons /15 to 30 grams Schmaltz

  • Sal kosher

  • Pimienta negra recién molida

  • 1/4 teaspoons cayenne

  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot macerated in a tablespoon of lemon juice for at least 5 minutes

  • 1 cucharadita de salsa de pescado

  • 1 small celery stalk, diced

  • 2 tablespoons /15 grams gribenes

  1. In a small saucepan, cover the eggs with 1 inch/3 centimeters of water and bring the water to a boil over high heat. As soon as the water reaches a full boil, cover the pan and take it off the heat. Let the eggs sit in the covered pan, off the heat, for 12 to 15 minutes, then remove them from the water. (Or, if you have a pressure cooker, steam them for 7 minutes, then chill; these are invariably easier to peel.) Run the eggs under cold water, or transfer them to an ice bath, till they're thoroughly chilled. Peel the eggs.

  2. Meanwhile, in a separate small saucepan over medium heat, saute half the onion in 1 teaspoon schmaltz till translucent. It's a good idea to give them a pinch of salt as you do this, don't be shy. Transfer the onions to a plate and allow to cool slightly.

  3. Combine all the ingredients except the celery and gribenes and do any of the following: put them through a meat grinder fitted with a medium or small die; coarsely chop them in a food processor; chop by hand and finish by mashing to a pleasing consistency with a fork. Then fold in the celery and the gribenes.
