Tsibelles mit eier
Ingredients : 3 to 4 tablespoons of fat (oil, schmaltz...); 4 large onions; 6 to 8 hard-boiled eggs; salt; pepper
Recipe : Melt the onions, cut into small rectangles, in schmaltz, lard or oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper and stir until they are lightly caramelized (1/2 hour).
Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces and add them to the softened onions. Mix and serve (warm or cold).
A variation for the eggs: beat them raw and pour them into the pan on top of the onions, breaking them into small pieces with a wooden spoon in the pan, the onion and egg mixture happening directly.

My cousin Zahava makes them wonderfully. They're a real treat every time she makes them, especially at Rosh HaShana.
