Halloween may be the most counterculture-friendly holiday, especially since
there’s no need to travel, there’s no formal dinner to stress over, and there
are no gifts to buy! There’s just the pure joy of carving pumpkins, eating
candy, planning crazy costumes, and getting ready to party all night with
werewolves, witches, and Sasquatch. Instead of using that carton of farm-fresh
eggs to seek revenge on the mean neighbors who wouldn’t give you candy, why not
hard-boil them and create a dish that’s both a trick and a treat?! These
devilish eggs are made with Cannabis-Infused Mayonnaise and look like giant
bloodshot red eyes, making a fun, gross-out spectacle for your friends to enjoy
on their way to a spooky, stony party night!
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- Salt
- 12 eggs
- Red food coloring
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ⅓ cup Cannabis-Infused Mayonnaise (see recipe)
- 1 tablespoon minced shallots
- ¼ teaspoon hot sauce
- Paprika
- Pepper
- One 2¼-ounce can of sliced black olives
METHOD :
1. Fill a large pot halfway with water. Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar and a pinch
of salt. Add the eggs, being careful not to crack them. I place each egg on a
spoon and gently dip the spoon into the water, releasing the egg. Bring the
water to a boil, then remove the pot from the heat and cover. Let the eggs sit
for 10 to 15 minutes.
2. In the meantime, prepare an ice bath, with ice cubes and cold water in a
large bowl. Remove the eggs using a slotted spoon and place in the cold water.
Let them chill for a moment. Take each egg and carefully crack it all over,
leaving the shell on. Then, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of vinegar and 1
tablespoon of red food coloring to the cooking water. Put the cracked eggs back
in the dyed water and let them soak for 30 minutes. This will make the eggs
look like red, bloodshot eyes.
3. Next, peel the eggs, and carefully slice them in half lengthwise. Remove
yolks and place in a bowl.
4. To yolks, add the mustard, cannabis-infused mayo, a few drops of red food
coloring, shallots, and hot sauce. Mash up the filling until it has a smooth
consistency, then carefully fill the eggs. Sprinkle paprika, salt, and pepper
over the eggs to taste, then top each with an olive slice. Voilà! Now you have
stoned, red-eyed Halloween deviled eggs.
