Devilish Eggs

September, 2017

Devilled eggs are having a moment, and these pack a worthy punch.

  • 3 oz Spanish chorizo, sliced
  • 8 eggs, hard-boiled, peeled and sliced in half lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sour cream (or Greek yogourt)
  • 1 tbsp capers, drained and minced
  • 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp chopped dill
  • 2 tsp minced chives
  • 1/4 tsp sriracha sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Black olives, to decorate
  • Smoked sweet paprika (for sprinkling on the whites)

Slice the chorizo into strips, and fry it in a pan until crispy. With a slotted spoon, remove the chorizo from the pan, and place it on some paper towel to drain.

With a teaspoon, gently scoop out the hard-boiled yolks into a small mixing bowl, and place the whites flat-side-up on a serving tray. To the bowl, add the mustard, mayo, sour cream, capers, lemon zest, dill, chives, sriracha sauce and salt. Stir to combine; then crumble in the chorizo.

Sprinkle the egg whites with a light dusting of paprika, fill each centre with a generous spoonful of the filling and garnish with a black olive spider
