Serves 6

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 dozen eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons schmaltz (rendered chicken fat; see sidebar) or walnut oil
• 2 cups Simple Onion Relish
• ½ cup mayonnaise (Homemade Sunflower Mayonnaise or Almonnaise)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Begin by placing the hard-boiled eggs in a bowl. Use a fork to chop the eggs to the desired consistency. Set the chopped eggs aside.
2. In a skillet, heat the schmaltz or walnut oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them until they are browned and tender. Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat.
3. Add the Simple Onion Relish to the skillet with the sautéed mushrooms. Toss the relish with the mushrooms until they are well coated and thoroughly combined.
4. Transfer the mushroom and onion relish mixture to the bowl of chopped eggs. Use a rubber spatula to blend the ingredients together, ensuring that the mushrooms and onion relish are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
5. Add the mayonnaise to the bowl and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
6. For best results, chill the egg salad in the refrigerator before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the overall taste and texture.
7. Serve the egg salad chilled on dark rye bread for a classic and hearty sandwich option. Alternatively, you can enjoy it on a bed of lettuce for a lighter and refreshing meal.
