MOM’S CLASSIC DEVILED
EGGS
-
Boil enough large fresh eggs
to serve the number of friends you are with.
-
I like to bring the eggs to
a boil, remove from the heat and cover for 20 minutes. They come out so
tender and the yokes are still clear yellow.
-
Shell and cut in half, length
wise, and scoop out yokes.
-
To yokes add some mayonnaise,
a little old fashioned yellow mustard, salt and freshly ground black pepper,
and some sweet pickle relish with a little pickle juice. The amounts are
up to you but you will want the mixture somewhat firm, not runny.
-
Re-stuff the eggs with the yoke
mixture and sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley.
This is the recipe my mother
always served to our family and it is still a favorite of mine, but of
course, I just had to tweak it a little!
CLAY’S TWEAK
Leave out the pickle relish
and use capers and a little caper juice. My partner Dennis loves capers
and I think he would eat them on ice cream! Top each egg with a large caper,
and then sprinkle with paprika (no parsley). These never last when I serve
them to my friends and family, even mom liked them!
I also like to add about
½ teaspoon of Turmeric, it adds great color and flavor and is really
good for you. I always try to incorporate it into any recipes that it will
enhance!
FRUIT
And finally, serve some
freshly cut up seasonal fruits, Mango would be spectacular!!
What a delicious way to
end your hot air balloon adventure! |
