Easter Egg Salad

April 2, 2015 By elviira 2 Comments

Easter is just after a couple of days away from now. Here are two easy recipes for your Easter celebrations. I’m sure you are going to cook — and maybe color and decorate — some eggs, so these recipes are an excellent way to use the leftover eggs.

The Easter Egg Salad is a tasty and colorful variation on regular egg salad. Here sauteed onion gives delicious flavor and curry powder colors the salad with yellow hue, perfect for Easter and springtime. Curry powder is sauteed together with the onion to squeeze out all the color and taste. Be sure to refrigerate the salad overnight so that the flavors mingle. And if you would like to make a dairy-free version, use coconut oil or olive oil for cooking the onion and the curry powder.

The Easter Egg Butter is variation on the Easter Egg Salad — and as colorful and tasty! This recipe doesn’t contain mayonnaise, so if you have problems with raw eggs, you might get enthusiastic with this one!

Here is a variation on Easter Egg Salad — Easter Egg Butter. That, in turn, is a variation on the regular egg butter that is a staple for us Finns. Usually we eat egg butter with Karelian Pastries, but since those are full of gluten and carbs, I prefer to use egg butter on gluten-free low-carb bread. The bread in the photo is The Ultimate English Muffin in Microwave from my Easy Everyday Recipes cookbook, yes, the same one that I published on Kindle last week. It’s my to-go bread recipe nowadays, the bread can be whipped up just in a couple of minutes.

The traditional version of egg butter contains just mashed hard-cooked eggs and butter (no onion or turmeric), sometimes added salt. People often add some cottage cheese, too, to make the egg butter lighter, but as I’m not afraid of fat, I don’t use cottage cheese. Anyway, I’m not a fan of the sour flavor of cottage cheese, at least in egg butter.

If you like the piquant flavor of fresh onion, you can cook half of the chopped onion and use half raw for the both Easter Egg Salad and Easter Egg Butter. Moreover, you can add cayenne pepper, hot chili sauce, fresh, finely chopped herbs like basil and parsley to further season the dishes.

 

 

 

Easter Egg Butter

6 oz = 170 g salted butter, softened
1 medium organic onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon organic turmeric
4 hard-cooked organic free-range eggs
to taste ground organic white pepper
(to taste unrefined sea salt)

 

Directions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place 1 tablespoon butter, onion and the turmeric on the skillet. Cook the onion until soft and translucent. Let cool to room temperature.
  2. While the onion mixture is cooling, peel the eggs. Place the peeled eggs in a medium bowl and mash with fork.
  3. Add the onion mixture and the rest of the butter to the bowl with eggs. Mix very well with spoon or fork. Season with white pepper and salt.
  4. Refrigerate in an airtight container overnight to let the flavors mingle. Remove from the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving so that the butter is spreadable and not hard anymore.

      Thank you, Lisa Marie, for your comment! I’m sorry I haven’t been able to post that many recipes lately. I try to finish one project asap and then I have hopefully more time for recipes, anyway I have hundreds of ideas… Just no time for testing them! Hopefully in the future, though. In case you would like to get more easy low-carb recipes, you might be interested in my cookbooks. What do you think?
