Beet-Pickled & Curried Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
6 hardboiled eggs, preferably pasture-raised or organic
1 can of beets, ½ cup of juice set aside
¼ cup raw apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon brown mustard
¼ teaspoon pink salt
1 teaspoon curry powder
Crushed plantain chips for topping with a moral & pestle, optional
Directions
Boil the eggs until hard, about 10 minutes.
Peel your hard boiled eggs and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, pour the beet juice and apple cider vinegar. Let sit on the counter for at least 4 hours. You can leave the bow in the refrigerator overnight for a tangier flavour.
Once pickled, cut each one in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and put them in a medium bowl. Set the egg white halves aside for the meantime.
Mash the hard boiled egg yolks with a fork, then add the cream cheese or mayonnaise, mustard, curry powder and salt and mix very well, until you have a thick, creamy filling.
Carefully spoon the yolk mixture into the egg white halves, about 1 tablespoon per half.
Sprinkle the crushed plantain chips if preferred over all the eggs.
Serve right away, or cover to store in the refrigerator until serving. If they will be stored away before serving, sprinkle the plantain chips right before serving to retain their crunchiness.
