Salt-cured egg yolks are a simple yet delightful method for repurposing leftover egg whites, creating a versatile ingredient that adds umami richness. These golden yolks can be grated over a variety of dishes, such as pasta, risotto, and steamed greens, enhancing them with depth and flavor. The salting process intensifies the taste by drawing out moisture, and while some recipes add sugar or herbs, a basic salt cure is preferred for its pure flavor. Leftover salt can be repurposed for seasoning, making this technique both practical and delicious.
Salt-cured egg yolks are an incredibly simple way to use leftovers, transforming them into umami-rich flavor enhancers for various dishes.
Once dried, salt-cured yolks achieve a firm, grater-friendly consistency, perfect for adding a burst of flavor to pasta, risotto, and greens.
