Herb And Turmeric Egg Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a medium saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once the water comes to a boil, remove from the heat, cover with a tight-fitting lid and let sit for 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Drain and submerge the eggs in the ice bath to stop the cooking.
• Peel the eggs. Chop into 1/4-inch dice and place in another large bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon, turmeric, the 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Gently stir together. If the egg salad looks too dry, stir in 1 to 2 more tablespoons of mayonnaise. Taste and add more salt, if desired.
• Next, stir in the 2 tablespoons chives, 2 tablespoons dill and 1 tablespoon basil. Before serving, garnish with more herbs. Serve the egg salad in lettuce cups, with flax crackers, in a sandwich or even in a salad. Or you can refrigerate the egg salad for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• To hard-boil the eggs, place in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Cover the pan tightly, and turn off the heat. Let sit for 12 minutes. Fill a bowl with ice water, drain the eggs and chill immediately in the ice water.
• Combine the chopped eggs, herbs, celery and red onion in a large bowl, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss with the egg mixture.
• Line plates or a platter with arugula, top with the egg salad and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk 3 eggs with 1 tablespoon water; season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh turmeric (or 1 teaspoon ground) and cook, stirring, 15 to 30 seconds. Add the eggs, reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring, until just set, about 3 minutes. Top with chopped chives, parsley and dill.

Steps:

• Prepare the pickled shallots: Add the shallot, lime juice and a pinch of salt to a small bowl; use your fingers to gently massage everything together. Set aside to pickle lightly.
• Make the tamarind dressing: Add all the ingredients to a bowl, along with 1 1/2 tablespoons water. Whisk to combine and dissolve the sugar. Set aside.
• Prepare the spinach: Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high. Once hot, add the garlic and cook for 90 seconds, stirring, until fragrant and lightly golden, then stir in the spinach (in batches, by the handful) and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and wipe out the pan.
• Prepare the eggs: Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and the turmeric to the same pan; stir to combine and heat over medium-high. Once hot but not smoking, crack in the eggs and quickly sprinkle the whites with the sliced chile.
• Season the eggs all over with a good pinch of salt and use spatula to separate the whites so that the eggs are not joined together. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, spooning some of the oil over the whites. You want the whites to be crispy at the edges and the yolk to be runny. (You can cook it for longer, if you like your eggs more cooked.)
• When eggs are cooked to taste, use a spatula to transfer them to the plate with the spinach, drizzling with any extra turmeric oil left in the pan. Top with the pickled shallots and a spoonful of the tamarind dressing, serving any remaining alongside.

Steps:

• Put the coconut oil in a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Lightly fry the garlic, add the spinach leaves and wilt for a few mins - add a splash of water if they stick.
• Whisk the eggs with the coconut milk and turmeric. Season well. Add to the pan with the spinach and stir continuously for 5-8 mins until the scrambled eggs are at the desired consistency. Serve on slices of toasted sourdough.
