Directions:
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil, add in the garden eggs and boil for 5mins. Remove the garden eggs from heat and set aside to cool

Peel the garden eggs skin by gently pulling on the thin white coating (cut and remove the seeds in the center if you prefer) and chop up the peeled garden eggs or crush them lightly using a pestle head.
