Number Of Ingredients 9

12 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled
1 small garlic clove
1/4 small onion
2 tablespoons capers, drained and chopped (if using salt packed capers, soak in a little milk and drain)

Steps:

  • Cut the rounded ends off the eggs, scoop out the yolks into a bowl, and stand the hard bouled egg whits upright in the egg carton. If you wish to serve the eggs on a platter, trim a small piece of the egg off the pointed ends so they will stand upright.

Grate the garlic into the egg yolks, then grate about 2 tbls. of onion juice into the bowl. add the capers, 1 tsp of lemon zest, the juice of the lemon, a few dashes of hot sauce, the mayonnaise, pepper, and half of the parsley.
