Eggs have moved off the breakfast-only roster and into other menu parts. Here, hard-cooked eggs are deviled with Indian flavors with the addition of an authentic vindaloo sauce. The high-protein snack works as an afternoon pick-me-up or a zesty bar bite for later in the evening.
Ingredients
Vindaloo sauce
2 cups chopped canned tomatoes
2 cups chopped onion
1/2 cup (4 oz.) chopped dried apricots
4 oz. white wine
2 tbsp. Ras El Hanout spice blend
2 tbsp. curry powder
2 tbsp. chopped cilantro
2 tbsp. minced ginger
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. turmeric
1 tbsp. chopped garlic
1/2 cup (4 oz.) melted butter
Deviled eggs
1/4 cup thinly sliced onion
1 cup (8 oz.) buttermilk
6 large eggs, hard-cooked and peeled
1/4 cup (2 oz.) vindaloo sauce
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper, to taste
12 small cooked shrimp
2 tbsp. coarsely chopped cilantro
Steps
1. For vindaloo sauce: In saucepan, combine all ingredients except butter; cook over medium-low heat until tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer ingredients to blender; add butter and process until well mixed.
2. For eggs: Cover onions with buttermilk. Let rest 10 minutes. Cut peeled eggs lengthwise, scoop yolks into bowl, set egg whites aside.
3. Add 1/4 cup vindaloo sauce to yolks and mix.
