This is my husband's favorite deviled egg recipe. The original version was from a cilantro cookbook, although we've tweaked it a bit.
Cilantro Jalapeño Deviled Eggs
12 eggs, hardboiled, peeled and halved
1/2 cup Cilantro Aioli (recipe follows)
Salt
24 small springs of cilantro
Transfer yolks to a bowl and mash with Cilantro Aioli, adding salt to taste. Using a spoon, melon baller, or pastry bag, fill egg white halves with yolk mixture. Garnish with spring of cilantro before serving.
Cilantro Aioli
1 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves (or a good handful unchopped)
1/4 cup lime juice
1 jalapeño
In food processor, combine mayonnaise, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño. Pulse to blend until fairly smooth. Add salt to taste.
Makes a little over 1 cup. You can mix sour cream with leftover aioli to make a terrific sauce for tacos.
I'm going to give it a go. I'll let you know....later after a church potluck *giggle*
