Oh little vegetable blog, how I have neglected you. I still don’t have anything original for you, but how about some nice Easter deviled eggs to tide you over?
Two years after my first deviled egg attempt, I decided to make them again. The results? Pretty much the same. Fun to make, well received but I still don’t love them. They’re fine, but hard-boiled eggs just aren’t my thing. They’re pretty though, huh?
I used a recommendation in Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian to mix in spring vegetables – peas, asparagus and radish – and I added some fresh dill.
Speaking of hard-boiled eggs, here are a few that Crystal and I dyed. We dyed them with turmeric, blueberries, paprika, tea and red onion skins. The turmeric+blueberry (green) combination was my favorite, and the blueberries alone and tea worked really well too.
It was a fun little project, but man were there some funky smells coming from the kitchen when all the dye ingredients were boiling in water and vinegar. Whew!
Hope you all had a happy Easter!
