Avocado Devilled Eggs

Posted 2013-09-30 by Maddy Butler ⇒ follow

Not only are devilled eggs delicious, but they also make an impressive-looking entree or canape at a dinner party. Best of all, they're fresh, healthy, gluten free, dairy free, carbohydrate free and vegetarian, so this dish caters to many special needs diets.

If you don't have all the ingredients, you can shift things around. For example, pepper and paprika will do instead of mustard. More mustard, with mayonnaise, will do instead of avocado. Dried herbs will do instead of fresh. Shallots can be substituted for the red onion and garlic, and so on.

The dish is rather easy to make and can be made ahead and stored in the fridge in cling wrap until ready to serve. Warm or cold, it's still tasty!

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
4 eggs
1 avocado
1/2 red onion
1/2 garlic clove
Handful fresh coriander
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp dijon mustard
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt

Method

Place the eggs in a small pot and cover with water. Place on the stove top over high heat and bring to the boil. Leave for around 8 minutes, then turn off the heat and run the pot, with the eggs still inside, under cold water. Leave to cool.

While the eggs are cooking, prepare some of the ingredients. Peel and roughly chop the avocado, finely dice the onion and garlic and very finely chop the coriander.
