PALEO DEVILED EGGS

We just love these one bite mouthfuls of sunshine, especially for breakfast and even more so as the eggs come from our lovely garden hens, these gorgeous eggs don't generally make it past breakfast, I always make a double portion in the hope that several will sit in the fridge for those go to moments but in all honesty they never do make it to the fridge! 

Hint of History 

Did you or do you want to know that the Deviled egg originated in Ancient Rome, then in the 13th century in Andalusia Spain they introduced spicy stuffed shrimp to further the flavour, the officiall name Deviled Eggs was then given in the 17th century and in 1786 in Great Britain the first reference in a old cook book about spices with eggs was found and here they are still today 2017 how Awesome is that!

Quick eggs hands on time 5 minutes! 

Ingredients 

(Makes 12 deviled eggs)

6 fresh free range eggs

2 tbsp turmeric olive oil mayo (homemade recipe below)

12 sprigs of asparagus 

2 olives sliced 

1 sprig of chives cut 2" long

100g smoked organic wild Alaskan salmon 

Turmeric Olive Oil Mayonnaise 

This takes one minute to make

1 egg yolk

1 tsp white wine vinegar

150ml olive oil

1 pinch sea salt

1 pinch black pepper

1/2 tsp turmeric 

Speedy One Minute Mayonnaise 

To make the mayo place the egg yolk and olive oil in a large bowl, start to drizzle in the oil really really slow and whisk, when approx 1/3 of the oil has been incorporated and the yolk has thickened you can add the oil at a much faster rate, keep whisking, once all the oil has been used season the mayonnaise with salt, pepper and turmeric.  That's it gorgeous fresh clean homemade mayo, any left over will keep for a week in the fridge in a air tight jar.

The Perfect Boiled Eggs

The secret is in the method, its really easy to cook your eggs to exactly how you like them, for this recipe I want the egg yolks just starting to set but still have movement like lava.  Bring a pan of water to a simmer, add a pinch of salt and set the timer for 6 minutes, as your place the eggs in the water turn the timer on, this is important as soon as that timer alarms remove the pan from the heat, drain and fill the pan with cold running water, drain and fill again and leave the eggs to cool for five minutes in the water then remove and peel.

Quick Cheats Deviled Eggs

This is a speedy cheat that still gets the job done, cut the eggs in half top with mayonnaise, salmon, olive and chives and that's it done.

Deviled Eggs

Cut the eggs in half, scoop out all the yolks and place in a bowl with the turmeric mayonnaise and mix to a smooth paste, place in a food or piping bag and pipe the egg mayo back into the egg white shells, top with salmon, chives and olive slices and enjoy.
