Puff The Magic Dragon's Easter Eggs

Ingredients

• 6 dragon's eggs (or hens' eggs if you don't have a dragon's cave in your neighbourhood)
• food coloring, diluted (optional)
• 1 bunch fresh parsley
• 1 bunch fresh coriander
• 1 bunch fresh tarragon
• fresh herb, as desired (but please no marijuana – Puff gave up that stuff in the 1970s)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• white wine or grape juice (just enough to thin the mayonnaise a little)
• paprika (to garnish)

Directions

1. 1

   Hard-boil the eggs (2 hours for dragon’s eggs, 12 minutes for hens’ eggs).

2. 2

   While the eggs are boiling, mix the mayonnaise and wine and put in the fridge to chill.

3. 3

   Run the cooked eggs under very cold running water until they are cool, and then tap them gently all over (using a hammer for dragon’s eggs, or a kitchen spoon for hens’ eggs).

4. 4

   Carefully remove the shells from the eggs and, if desired, dip them in food colouring.

5. 5

   The eggs now need a nest – if you were unable to steal some of the dragon’s nest, you can make your own by lining a nice basket or shallow serving bowl with the fresh herbs.

6. 6

   Place the eggs in the nest and spoon the mayonnaise mixture over them.

7. 7

   Sprinkle with paprika.
