Mediterranean Deviled Eggs
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 12 hard boiled eggs
- 1/4 cup Paleo Pili Nut Pesto (see recipe below)
- 6 slices Salami, diced
- Green onion, to garnish
Instructions
- Cut all your eggs in half and gently scoop out the egg yolks. Add the yolks to a large bowl.
- Add the pesto to the bowl and use a fork to mix and mash until the mix is green and smooth. Add more pesto to taste!
- Use a small spoon to add the green yolk mix back into the eggs.
- Top with diced salami and green onion. Enjoy!
Pili Nut Pesto
In your blender or food processor combine:
- 2 ounces basil leaves, about 2 cups
- 1 fist full of spinach or arugula
- 1/2 cup of carrot greens or parsley
- 1/2 cup of garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup of pili nuts
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 cup avocado oil
Pulse together until well combined and almost smooth. Store in a jar in the fridge. It will harden when cold. Set it out to room temp to soften before use.
