Curry Stuffed Eggs

Sharon123's Note:

A great appetizer for parties, or as a salad for dinner, or hey, just as a great snack! Adapted from Rachael Ray's Big Orange Book!

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 12

Yield: 1.0 dozen

• 12 large hard-boiled eggs , peeled
• 1 inch fresh gingerroot , peeled, finely grated
• 2 -3 thin scallions , finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove , grated
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 3 -4 tablespoons mayonnaise (just enough to bind)
• salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons red bell peppers , finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro , finely chopped (or parsley)

Directions:

1. Cut the fat rounded ends off the eggs, scoop out the yolks into a bowl, and stand the hard boiled egg whites upright in the egg carton. If you wish to serve the eggs on a platter, trim a small piece of egg off the pointed ends so they will stand upright.
2. Break the egg yolks up a little bit using a frok. Add the ginger, scallions, garlic, curry powder, mayonnaise and salt and pepper. Mash until smooth and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
3. Fill the egg whites, overstuffing them a little. Garnish the eggs with the red bell pepper and cilantro. Enjoy!

These were a nice change of pace. I will cut the eggs differently next time. The recipe was reduced to 4 eggs. To have lots of stuffing I typically use an extra egg yolk and white finely diced. In this case I used 1/2 an egg which gave me 7 halves. This is a perfect appetizer for a small gathering. Made for Aussie Swap.

I doubled the mayo, added salt and pepper, and loved the cilantro. An old-fashioned recipe with a new-fashioned taste.

Great eggs and I'll make them for Christmas. I made only 3 to try them out and I had them with and without ginger. I liked it more without. Scallions were a great addition. I'll make this again!
