Avocado Deviled Eggs
I don’t know about you…but I could probably have avocado with everything… If you were stranded on a deserted island, what is one food you would want??? Ever been asked that question!? Welp..I would want Avocado!!! Spinach might be nice too! Ha!
This is another recipe that I made for our “Dinner Club!”
* 6 peeled hard boiled eggs (I used Free Range, Organic…of course)
* 1 ripe avocado peeled and pit removed (duh)
* 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
* 2 – 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise (Trader Joe’s has a good Organic one)
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly chopped parsley
* 1/8 teaspoon ground mustard
* Sea salt and pepper to taste
Cut eggs lengthwise and remove yolks. Set aside.
In a medium bowl combine egg yolks, avocado, lime juice, mayonnaise, parsley, ground mustard, and mash or smoosh using a potato masher or two forks until nice and creamy…or, you can put them in a food processor or bullet to make them really creamy! Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add mixture into egg whites with a spoon or pastry bag and garnish with chopped parsley!
Enjoy!!!
Chimichurri Sauce
My husband and I belong to a dinner club with 3 other couples. The main stipulation is that you have to use recipes you have never tried before!!! I tried a Chimichurri Sauce with grilled chicken (you can use tri-tip, etc.)! I marinated the boneless, skinless, organic, free-range chicken breasts overnight… I doubled both recipes.
..Marinade..
3/4 cup olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 T. garlic powder
1 T. freshly cracked pepper
1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
Like I said, I marinated the chicken overnight.
2 days ahead I made the Chimichurri Sauce..
..Chimichurri Sauce..
In a food processor or Vita-mix pulse
2 T. balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup packed parsley sprigs
7 garlic cloves
1/3 cup packed fresh rosemary leaves
2 T. fresh oregano leaves
1 T. lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp. each..red chile flakes and sea salt
(Coarsely chop)
While pulsing, pour in 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Let sauce rest at least 1 hour, or chill up to 3 days, then bring to room temperature.
Serve over grilled chicken, beef, etc.
Enjoy!!
Stay tuned for more of the recipes I used!
I got all of the herbs out of my garden, which is so fun!
Enjoy!
