CURRIED EGG SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Curried Egg Salad With Caramelized Onions image

This dish was part of a menu that Monica Bhide had where she had eighteen guests, eight different diets,- and one cook to try and please them all. Monica's newest cookbook is Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen (Simon & Schuster, 2009) ." I took it as a challenge! I like to throw dinner parties and I pride myself on creating memorable meals.I wrote cookbooks, damn it. So what if the Jack Spratt nursery rhyme was coming to life in my house.(Remember Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean.)" So it was with this fervor that she had a great party even though she swore that next time she was ordering pizza! AARP Magazine, May & June, 2009 edition. I tweaked it a bit, personal preference.

NOT YOUR GRANDMA'S EGG SALAD (CURRIED EGG SALAD WITH SHRIM



Not Your Grandma's Egg Salad (Curried Egg Salad With Shrim image

** The 35 minute cook time is for the prep of the hard boiled eggs. I came up with this after making TeresaS's wonderful "Curried Stuffed Eggs". I have a hard time not taking recipes to the next step so I came up with this rather special take on egg salad. This is awesome as a salad, as a sandwich on a croissant or as a canapé. I really recommend you make this ahead - the flavor is so much better after it has had a chance to intermingle. *TeresaS's recipe called for Dijon mustard, but it turned out I didn't have any on hand, so I used lemon mustard and it was great, but the Dijon would be great too. The prep time is based on having hard cooked eggs on hand, otherwise plan on 35 additional minutes. ** The second time I made this, I added 2 spears of finally chopped Kroger brand Candied Dill pickles - really added to the flavor.

Time 43m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3/4 teaspoon hot Madras curry powder
1/4 cayenne pepper (or to taste)
5 hard-boiled eggs, pelled and chopped
2 teaspoons mustard (Celebration's Lemon Mustard)
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 finely chopped green onions (shallots would work well too)
4 ounces baby shrimp (drained and rinsed) or 1/2 cup chopped cooked shrimp
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Mix together the mayonnaise, curry powder, mustard, and cayenne together in a small bowl and set aside.(If you don't have lemony mustard, a squirt or two of lemon juice will add a nice zing).
  • In a mixing bowl combine chopped eggs, celery, onions, and shrimp and season with pepper (I don't add salt as I feel the shrimp adds enough salt flavor, but that is a personal thing). Stir in the dressing and mix thoroughly - cover and refrigerate, the taste improves as it has a chance to blend.
  • **If you do not have hard cooked eggs on hand, put eggs in pan with cold water, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of white vinegar. Once water comes to boil, cover, turn off heat and let simmer 20 minutes. Cover eggs with ice water for 10 minutes, drain, crack, and peel.

CURRIED EGG SALAD



Curried Egg Salad image

I was looking around for a curried egg salad recipe and couldn't find one that I liked...so I made my own! The addition of the sriracha sauce and green onion gives it a distinctly "ethnic" flavor and is a nice variation from your typical, boring egg salad. This is my new favorite recipe! Would be delicious made into little sliders for a brunch. I rarely/never measure, so this is my best estimation of amounts.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 eggs
1/4 cup light mayonnaise (I always use reduced fat or olive oil mayo, NO miracle whip!)

1 tablespoon mustard (dijon or brown)
1/2 teaspoon sriracha sauce (or more, if you like it spicier)
2 green onions, finely sliced

Steps:

  • Boil and peel eggs. Slice, chop, or mash up the eggs- however you like it.
  • Mix all ingredients together and chill in the fridge until you're ready to eat.

CURRIED EGG SALAD SANDWICH ON RAISIN BREAD



Curried Egg Salad Sandwich on Raisin Bread image

Found this recipe while browsing the sunmaidraisin.com website;- with a little bit of fine tuning. Whole milk plain yogurt replaces some of the mayonnaise. Skip the coconut if you don't like it. It's good either way.

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons plain yogurt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon coconut (flaked or grated-I lightly toasted the coconut in a dry cast iron skillet)
1 tablespoon green onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon curry powder
salt, to taste
cracked black pepper, to taste
5 hard-boiled eggs, mashed
1/4 cup cashews, toasted, chopped
3/4 cup baby spinach leaves
8 slices raisin bread

Steps:

  • Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, coconut (if using), green onion, curry powder, salt and black pepper.
  • Stir in eggs and cashews.
  • Divide and spread the egg salad mixture between four slices of raisin bread. Add the spinach leaves and top with the other four bread slices.
  • Serve with fresh sliced mangoes and papayas!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use hard-boiled eggs that are fresh. Older eggs can have a sulfurous taste that can overpower the other flavors in the salad.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will have a smooth, creamy texture and a rich, tangy flavor.
  • Add some chopped celery or onion for extra crunch and flavor. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also add some chopped nuts or dried fruit.
  • Be careful not to overmix the salad. Overmixing can make the eggs rubbery and the salad mushy.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Curried egg salad is best enjoyed within a few hours of making it.

Conclusion:

Curried egg salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a sandwich, salad, or wrap. It's also a great way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs. With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and crunchy vegetables, curried egg salad is a sure-fire crowd-pleaser.
