Italian Style Stuffed Eggs With Lemon and Capers
- 10 eggs
- 14 cup mayonnaise
- 1 large lemon
- salt, to taste
- 12 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper (or to taste)
- 30 small capers (you may use larger capers,cut into smaller pieces )
- 20 leaves flat leaf parsley, washed and dried (Italian parsley)
- Place eggs in a medium -large pot,one with room enough so that the eggs do not touch.Cover with cold water(the eggs should be completely covered).
- Bring the eggs to a rolling boil over medium heat.
- Once the water is boiling,cover the pot and remove from the heat source.Let the eggs sit,covered for 15 minutes.
- Remove the eggs,rinse under cold water,and peel.Cut each egg in half,lengthwise,and scoop out the yolk.
- Mash the yolk with a fork,add mayo.
- Was the lemon well,dry,and zest the entire lemon with a microplane or the finest holes on a grater.Add the zest to the yolk mixture.Juice the lemon and add about 1 teaspoon of the juice to the yolks as well,reserving the remaining juice for some other use.Season with salt and white pepper.
- Restuff the eggs with the yolk mixture.
- Garnish each egg with a few of the capers.I sometimes prefer to mix the capers into the yolks to get an even distribution of flavor,the choice is yours.
- Finally,garnish each egg half with a leaf of parsley .
- Chill the eggs if you are not serving them right away.
- You may sprinkle these with a bit of paprika or cayenne if you want to add the classic deviled egg touch.
