Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon harissa paste
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons pitted green olives (sliced)
- 1 dash extra paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 9 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the heat and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let the eggs cool for 5 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the harissa paste, mayonnaise, lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the yolks. Mash everything together with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, distributing it evenly.
Garnish each deviled egg with a sprinkle of extra paprika, a few slices of green olives, and a pinch of chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy the bold, spicy flavors!
