Deviled Beets Recipes

BEET DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Pour the brine of the pickled beets into a small saucepan (reserve the beets). Add the apple cider vinegar and brown sugar. Bring to a low boil and stir until the sugar dissolves. Let cool completely.
• Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. 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 the eggs are cool enough to handle, remove the shells.
• Place the eggs in a small bowl or a jar. Pour the cooled beet brine mixture over the eggs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours. The longer the eggs are in the brine, the deeper the shade of pink they will be.
• 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. To the food processor, add the mayo, mustard, salt, pepper and one of the pickled beet slices. Process until well blended and smooth. Taste for seasoning. If you want a deeper pink, add another beet to the mixture and process (reserve the remaining beets for another use).
• Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag. With scissors, snip off a bottom corner from the bag. Using the bag like a pastry bag, pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Garnish with minced fresh chives. Cover loosely and chill until ready to serve.

PICKLED BEET DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the beet in a medium saucepan and add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, peppercorns, bay leaf, 3/4 cup cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt and 3 cups water and bring to a boil. Let boil until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add the peeled eggs to the pan, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight for a deeper pink color.
• Cut the eggs in half, then scoop out the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Put the egg white halves on a serving platter. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon, chives, remaining tablespoon cider vinegar and a bunch of grinds of black pepper to the bowl with the yolks. Use a fork to mash the yolks until smooth and creamy and well combined. Transfer the mixture to a large resealable plastic bag and snip about 1/2-inch off of one of the corners. Pipe the mixture into the holes of the egg whites. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top, then place 1 piece baby arugula on top of each egg. Sprinkle the platter with the crumbled goat cheese.

BEET-PICKLED DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium pot, mix 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 3 cups water. Add the beet and bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour into a large heat-safe jar or bowl (including beet). Add eggs, stir, and refrigerate at least 3 hours (stirring occasionally) or overnight for a darker shade of pink.
• Remove eggs from liquid. Halve eggs (reserving the whites) and gently transfer the yolks to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar, mayonnaise, herbs, and anchovy paste to the yolks. Season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, then spoon or pipe the filling into the egg whites.
• Place the chiles, remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, the remaining pinch each of sugar and salt in a bowl and let stand 15 minutes. Drain the chiles, then sprinkle over the deviled eggs. Sprinkle with additional herbs, if desired. Serve.

BEET-PICKLED HUNGARIAN DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• For the beet-pickled eggs: Put the cold eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Heat the water to a boil, then cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat. Let stand for 12 minutes. Drain the eggs and rinse with cold water. Let the eggs cool a bit, then peel them while they are still warm (eggs are much easier to peel when warm).
• Place the hard-boiled eggs in a bowl or storage container and pour the pickling brine from the beet jars over the eggs, making sure the eggs are submerged. (You may need to place a weight or a plate on top.) Allow the eggs to sit for 45 minutes to 1 hour in the brine, but no longer or they'll start to get rubbery.
• For the sweet Hungarian filling: Mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, vinegar, horseradish, mustard, paprika and cucumber. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks by pressing your thumb against the back of each yolk to pop it out of the white. Add the yolks to the bowl with the filling and mash with a fork until smooth. Season with salt.
• Spoon the filling into the egg whites, or use a re-sealable plastic bag to pipe it in. Sprinkle with paprika and dill before serving.
