Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 eggs (room temperature)
1/3 cup mayonnaise (or more for extra creaminess)
1/2 cup grated carrot (from one small carrot)
1 green onion (sliced)
1 teaspoon curry powder
salt and pepper (to taste)
2 tbs chopped parsley (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Then turn the heat to low so there's no bubbles. Use a skimmer to slowly and gently place the eggs in the pot. Turn the heat back to high and boil the eggs for 12-14 minutes.
  • Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath for a few minutes to stop the cooking process and cool.
  • Once your eggs are cool to touch, peel and discard the eggs shells.
  • Cut the hard boiled eggs to your desired size (I prefer chunky).
  • Add the eggs, mayonnaise, grated carrots, green onion, curry powder, salt and pepper to bowl and stir all ingredients together. Sprinkle with parsley.
  • Serve on its own or in a wrap or sandwich and enjoy!

CURRIED RICE & EGG SALAD

Enjoy this lightly spiced rice and egg salad as a side dish at a summer barbecue or picnic. Top with toasted almonds, grated carrots and sliced cucumbers

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Side dish

Time 37m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
1 onion , chopped
2 tbsp mild curry paste (we used korma paste)
1 tsp ground turmeric
300g basmati rice
50g raisins
1 chicken or vegetable stock cube
3 eggs
small bunch of coriander , leaves picked
30g flaked almonds , toasted
2 carrots , grated or finely shredded
½ cucumber , sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion for 8-10 mins until soft and just turning golden. Boil the kettle. Stir the curry paste, ground turmeric, rice and raisins into the onions. Crumble over the stock cube and pour over enough boiled water from the kettle to cover the rice by ½cm (about 1 litre). Season with some salt. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover the pan, reduce the heat to its lowest setting and cook for 2 mins more. Without taking off the lid, remove from the heat and leave to steam for 15 mins. This will give you perfect, fluffy rice.
  • Meanwhile, bring another pan of water to the boil and cook the eggs for 7 mins. Plunge into a bowl of cold water to stop them cooking and once cool, drain and halve.
  • Tip the rice into a container and chill for at least 1 hr, or up to two days. When you're ready to serve, scatter over the coriander and almonds, and top with the grated carrot, cucumber slices and eggs.

CURRIED EGG SALAD



Curried Egg Salad image

Here is a recipe our colleague Jeff Gordinier got from the New York chef Jesse Schenker in the process of writing an article about Mr. Schenker's efforts to lose weight. It is for a much lighter version of the egg salad you may ordinarily make, with Greek yogurt standing in for mayonnaise and a number of egg yolks held back from the finished dish. But it is important to note that you don't have to do that. You can make this dish with all the yolks if you like, and pile the result into the midst of a green salad or on top of a roll, and you'll have a fine meal indeed.

Categories     easy, lunch, quick, main course

Time 10m

Yield About 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
1 teaspoon plain 2-percent-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon sriracha, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon sherry vinegar, or to taste
1/3 teaspoon curry powder, or to taste
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine one of the eggs with the whites of the three remaining eggs. (Discard the three yolks or reserve for another use.)
  • Using a fork, chop or lightly mash the eggs. Add the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, sriracha, vinegar and curry powder. Season with a pinch of kosher salt.
  • Mix well and adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, spread egg salad on any healthful fiber cracker with single-digit carbohydrates per serving (in grams), and top with sliced cucumber.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice for the best texture in your salad.
  • For a creamier salad, use mayonnaise instead of yogurt.
  • Add some chopped celery or red onion for a crunchy texture.
  • If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or curry powder to the dressing.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or spinach for a healthy and refreshing meal.

Conclusion:

Curried rice egg salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice and eggs. With its unique flavor and creamy texture, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
