CURRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Hard boil the eggs, using your favorite method. Cool slightly and peel. Cut them in half lengthwise.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan and saute the onion and garlic, until onion is just soft.
• Stir in the curry powder, tomato paste, water, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to cook over a low heat until it is just bubbling.
• Add egg halves to onion mixture and stir gently, until reheated through. Add a little more water if sauce gets too thick.
• Add lemon zest and parsley. Stir again and serve while hot.

CURRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut them in half, lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
• Add to the egg yolks the curry powder and mayonnaise then combine until smooth. You may need to push lumps of the yolk into the side of the bowl to break them up.
• Refill each egg half with the yolk mixture. This can simply be done by scooping it back in, or you can pipe it in for a fancier finish. If making a bulk version of this, aka doubling or tripling the quantity, piping is much quicker.
• Arrange the filled curried eggs on a serving platter and keep them chilled until needed.
