Ingredients
1 red onion, finely sliced into rounds
3 tablespoons white vinegar
6 extra-large eggs (approximately 59g each)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons aioli
Salt and pepper to taste
4 white sub rolls, split lengthways
4 cooked chicken schnitzels
Baby gem lettuce leaves
Peri-peri sauce
Hot chipotle cucumber pickles, to serve
Instructions
1-Start by pickling the sliced red onion in white vinegar for at least 30 minutes to add a tangy crunch to your subs. Grease a shallow baking dish with about a 4-cup capacity and place it inside a larger deep pan with a lid, then crack the 6 extra-large eggs into the baking dish in a single layer. Fill the larger pan with water up to 1 cm on the sides of the baking dish and cook over medium-high heat with the lid on for 6-7 minutes.
2-Turn off the heat and let the eggs stand for 2-3 minutes with the lid on, then remove and chop them coarsely before refrigerating in a covered bowl. Combine the chopped eggs with 2 tablespoons aioli, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, half of the pickled red onion, and salt and pepper to taste. To assemble, layer baby gem lettuce leaves on each of the 4 white sub rolls, add a cooked chicken schnitzel, then spread the egg salad evenly among the rolls, topping with the remaining pickled red onion, hot chipotle cucumber pickles, and a drizzle of peri-peri sauce.
3-Alternatively, hard boil the eggs by simmering them in half-filled cold water for 8 minutes after it reaches a simmer, then cool under running cold or iced water.
