When dyeing eggs with onion peel, it is very important to soak the peel in the same water in which you will paint the eggs at least a few hours earlier in order to release color. We used the skin from yellow onions here. Can you imagine it gave this beautiful red color?

For this recipe you need:
- 10 eggs
- skin of 1-2 kg of onions (yellow and red mixed)
- water to cover the eggs nicely
- 2 tablespoons of white acid
- In the water with onion skin, add acid and put the eggs. We add acid to avoid eggs cracking. Bring to boil and let them boil together for 15 minutes at low heat.
- You can remove them from the hot water immediately, depending on the intensity of gotten color or leave them in a refrigerator in the same liquid overnight in order to get stronger color. You can also reuse the same water for dyeing more eggs.
