Deviled Eggs - Devilishly Delicious
"I've had this recipe,from Food & Drink magazine (the best of) in my pile of recipes to try for ages - now why didn't I make it sooner? I've included tips for making perfect hard boiled eggs! For best results, read the directions one day ahead."
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger puree
- 1⁄3 cup mayonnaise
directions
- Eggs that are a few days old are best for hard boiling as fresh eggs are impossible to peel cleanly; test your eggs by placing in a pan of cold water - a newly laid egg will lay flat on the bottom, an older egg will tilt up slightly.
- The night before cooking the eggs, store them on their side in their container to centre the yolks.
- Place the eggs in a pan roomy enough to hold them without crowding; cover with COLD water to cover by at least an inch.
- Over high heat, heat water & eggs until just fully boiling.
- Remove saucepan from the heat & cover tightly; if eggs are boiled or overcooked, the yolks will be hard or turn an unattractive greenish-gray.
- Let the eggs stand in the boiling water for exactly 15 minutes; pour off the water & run the eggs under the cold water tap to stop the eggs from cooking any further and make them easier to peel.
- Gently tap the the large end of the shell against a flat surface; under cold running water, gently peel off pieces of shell, beginning at the large end.
- Cut the eggs in half horizontally & remove the yolks to a small bowl; add the remaining ingredients plus salt & pepper to taste and mix well.
- Using a piping bag or a small spoon, fill the white part of the egg with the yolk mixture; garnish with a small sprig of chervil or coriander.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design!
