Minted Pea Deviled Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat; prepare a large bowl of ice water. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and transfer to the ice water to cool completely. Microwave the peas according to the package directions; drain and let cool. Peel the eggs, halve lengthwise and remove the yolks from the whites. Set the whites aside on a plate. Blend the yolksand 1 cup of the peas in a food processor until crumbly. Add the olive oil, sour cream, chopped mint, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon water and process until the mixture is smoothand light. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the whites. Garnish each egg half with 1 of the remaining peas and a mint leaf. Serve immediately in a deviled egg tray or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• With a slotted spoon, gently drop eggs into a medium saucepan of boiling water; reduce heat to medium-high and cook 10 minutes. Using the spoon, transfer eggs to an ice bath until cool. Return the saucepan to a boil, season the water with 1 tablespoon salt, and blanch peas until bright green and tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
• Peel and halve eggs lengthwise; remove yolks and transfer to the bowl of a food processor with peas, mayonnaise, mustard, 1 tablespoon water and a pinch of salt; puree until smooth. Spoon mixture into whites. Garnish with pancetta, pea shoots, and black pepper.

Steps:

• Dissolve all but 1/4 teaspoon salt in large pot of boiling water. Add peas. Blanch 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Chill and drain thoroughly. Puree in blender or food processor the peas, mint, and sugar remaining salt and pepper until smooth. Continue to puree while adding egg whites 1 at a time. Pour in cream. Blend until combined.
• Divide mixture among 6 greased 1/2 cup ramekins or custard cups. Set ramekins in baking pan. Add boiling water to pan to halfway up sides of ramekins. Cover with foil and vent. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center pulls clean. Let set a few minutes. Run sharp knife around edges and invert onto serving dish. Garnish with mint sprig and dollop of sour cream or creme fraiche.

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. With a ladle, slowly lower the eggs into the water, one by one. Reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes. Drain. When they are cool enough to handle, peel the eggs.
• Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a food processor. Arrange the whites, cut-side up, on a serving platter. Blitz the egg yolks by themselves for about 10 seconds. To the yolks, add the mayo, mustard, capers, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon zest. Process until well blended and smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
• Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag, then use scissors to snip off the tip of one of the bottom corners to form a small hole. Pipe the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites or store the egg whites and yolk mixture separately in the fridge until ready to fill and serve, one to two days. Garnish the filled eggs with paprika and parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat and sizzle the shallot for 5 mins until soft. Add the stock and peas, and bring to a simmer. Cook gently for 10 mins until the peas are soft.
• Roughly mash the pea mixture with a potato masher, or, if you prefer a smoother texture, purée with a hand blender. (It's best to leave some of the peas whole or roughly crushed for texture.) Season to taste and stir through the mint leaves just before serving.
