Tonnato-stuffed Eggs Recipe

	Mrspotatohead / All my dishes 1 year, 8 months ago Sara Moulton’s recipe (she uses Julia Child’s method for hard-boiling eggs). Definitely taste best when chilled. A couple of these make a nice lunch with a small green salad on the side. I like to bring to work and eat with a small baggie of carrot and celery sticks. ...

Ingredients

6 large eggs

1/4 cup mayonnaise (maybe a little less if using tuna packed in oil)

1 (3.5-ounce) can tuna (Italian tuna packed in oil for more flavor, American tuna packed in water for fewer calories), drained

5 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped

1 tablespoon drained bottled capers

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Celery leaves and Nicoise olives, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Place the eggs in a large saucepan and pour in enough cold water to cover by 1-inch.

Bring to a boil over high heat.

Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside for 15 minutes.

Transfer the eggs to a bowl of half ice and half water.

Cool completely, then peel under cold running water.

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks.

Keep the halves of the whites intact.

Place the yolks in a strainer set over a large bowl and force through with the back of a large spoon.

Add the mayonnaise and stir until smooth.

Combine the tuna, anchovies, capers, lemon juice, and olive oil in a food processor. Process until smooth and creamy.

Stir into the yolks and season with salt and pepper.

Mound a heaping spoonful of the yolk mixture into the cavity of the whites.

Garnish with a celery leaf and an olive if desired.

Keep chilled until ready to serve.

Oh yeah - this recipe rocks! I love Sara, she is one of my faves and I've made this recipe numerous times. I like mine with a side salad and/or crudite, too. You rock too, Lisa - and you get a high 5 from me. Thanks so much, hon!
