Ajvar Deviled Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Boil eggs and cool. Peel them and then cut in half lengthwise carefully removing the yolks.
• Put yolks in a mixing bowl.
• Mix will all other ingredients except the cilantro.
• Heat the beans slightly and stir well.
• With a table knife or spoon put a little of the beans in the egg shell (maybe 1/2 tsp).
• Evenly put the yolk filling over that.
• Continue until all the egg whites are filled.
• Sprinkle finely chopped cilantro over the tops.
• Eat immediately or chill until ready to eat.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, cover eggs with cold water and heat to boiling; boil one minute, turn off heat, cover saucepan, and let sit 15 minutes.
• Once eggs are cool enough to handle, peel and cut in half lengthwise.
• Scoop out yolks and place in a bowl; set whites on serving platter.
• Using the side of a knife or a mortar and pestle, smash garlic with salt to form a paste.
• Combine garlic paste with yolks, smashing both with a fork.
• Add mayonnaise, tomato paste, vinegar, pepper, and paprika and mash with form until smooth.
• Taste and adjust seasonings, if desired.
• Spoon yolk mixture back into whites and dust with additional paprika.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 475 degrees. Roast washed eggplants and peppers until their skins blister and turn black, about 30 minutes. Turn to ensure entire vegetable is roasted.
• Once roasted set vegetables in a heatproof bowl to steam. This well help to remove skin. Remove skin and seeds/stems.
• In a large bowl, mash vegetables. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add garlic and drizzle in oil, stirring constantly.
• Store covered and refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Cut peeled eggs in half lengthwise.
• Slip out yolks.
• Mash with fork; mix in seasonings and dressing.
• Fill whites with yolk mixture heaping it up lightly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil. Halve each pepper, discarding stems and seeds. Place peppers, cut side down, on an old baking sheet or one lined with foil.
• Cut eggplant in half lengthwise and score with a knife, drizzle it with about 2 tablespoons olive oil and a little salt and place it on a second baking sheet.
• Place one of the oven racks roughly 3 to 4 inches below the heat; place peppers on this rack. The eggplant should sit on a lower rack.
• Broil the peppers and eggplant, turning the peppers occasionally until they are well roasted on all sides, roughly 15 to 20 minutes. The eggplant may be done first; if so, remove it and set it aside to cool. To test eggplant for doneness press on it with a fork to make sure it's soft all the way through. I use an an outdoor grill to cook the peppers and eggplant, no oil. I make sure most of the skin on the peppers are blackened.
• When you remove the peppers from the oven, place them in a bowl, sprinkle them with a little water, and cover with a clean dishcloth. Leave it for about 10 minutes. This step steams and lifts the skins, making it easy to peel the peppers once they've cooled. (Another method to loosen skins is to place the peppers in a paper sack, fold over to close and leave it for 15 minutes).
• While waiting for the red pepper skin to lift. Use a large spoon to remove the pulp of the eggplant, leaving the skin behind. Discard the thickest seeds, but don't get nit-picky. Put eggplant in a food processor or a blender (I use a stick blender in a deep bowl) with olive oil and smashed and chopped garlic cloves. Pulse the eggplant a few times so that it's chopped with the other ingredients but not totally pureed. Put this in a bowl and set aside.
• Once peppers are cool enough to handle, peel them with your fingers or a knife. Add peppers to the food processor or blender and pulse 5 to 8 times to chop coarsely. Add the eggplant mixture to the chopped peppers, season to taste with salt, pepper, vinegar and dried chili flakes, pulse 3 or 4 times to mix.
• If you wish, garnish it with more finely diced garlic and a few scattered basil leaves. Serve ajvar with toasted bread slices drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt.

Steps:

• Half eggs, and scoop yolks out to a bowl.
• Arrange egg white halves on serving platter.
• Smash yolks REALLY well with a fork.
• Add ajvar and mayonnaise.
• Blend well with an electric mixer until fluffy.
• Season to taste with kosher salt.
• With a teaspoon, fill egg white halves with ajvar-yolk mixture.
