Garnish as you please.Showboat Deviled EggsKristen Starella's deviled egg recipe was inspired by Radar restaurant Chef Jonathan Berube and Lily Tollefsen. She would like to give them a special shout-out for creating the best deviled eggs she's ever eaten and for generously telling her what appears to be their entire recipe. Hard-boil, then cool eggs in ice water. (I love my Dash egg cooker.) (For easy-peeling eggs: use less-than-fresh ones, and keep in water before cracking.) Halve egg whites; put yolks in food processor. Add the following:Terribly imprecise measurements for 12 whole eggs2 Tb Edmond Fallot Dijon mustard1 tsp smoked paprika1 tsp garlic powder1/2 tsp curry powderCouple grinds fresh pepper1-2 dashes cayenne pepper(Can add minced kaffir lime leaves or dill)Pulse gingerly until in small crumbles.Then add (again, this is typically eyeballed):3 heaping spoonfuls Best Foods mayonnaise1 tsp dill pickle juice1 dash fish sauce1 drop liquid smoke (Drip onto spoon first!)1-2 squeezes lemon juicePulse again until just combined. Separation may occur with too heavy a hand.Taste. Add salt if needed (sub celery salt)Spoon mixture into a zipper bag, seal, and mash more if needed, until smooth. Clip a corner and squeeze yolks into egg white halves. Garnish with any of the following: Capers, Dill, Minced onions crisp-fried with avocado oil.My favorite tip for cutting raw onions: make someone wearing contact lenses do it.There is a secret ingredient that I will only reveal in my last remaining breaths!Watermelon with Balsamic VinegarThat’s it! But the ingredients are key... Hermiston watermelon and Third Street Oil and Vinegar’s Fig- and peach-infused balsamic vinegars are what make this dish truly sublime.http://MartiMendenhall.comhttp://Patreon.com/MartiMendenhallhttps://www.facebook.com/starella34/ Instagram handle: @thestarellasisters https://www.instagram.com/thestarellasisters/Support the show
