Siracha Deviled Eggs
Ingredients: (serves about 5-6 people)
6 Eggs
3 Tablespoons Hellman's mayo
2 Tablespoons Siracha
1 teaspoon Grey Poupon dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Parika & Green onions (chopped) for garnish
Instructions:
First, start off by hard boiling eggs.
To hard boil, I put eggs in a saucepan submerged in water that covers by about an inch. Boil water, then remove from heat. Cover saucepan and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove eggs from hot bath and soak in cold water. Let sit and then once cool, crack egg onto counter and peel. Once peeled, cut eggs in half, remove yolk and put the yolk directly into the food processor. Wipe egg whites clean and place on platter.
Add remaining ingredients, except for garnishing items, into the food processor. Mix until all combined evenly. It should look like a hummus type consistency. Place egg filling into a piping bag, like you use for icing cupcakes. I used a 1M baking tip. Evenly disperse filling into egg whites.
That's it! Enjoy the kick. If you don't love spice, try with a little less Siracha than the recipe calls for OR if you leave heat, add more! xo RCN
Super Bowl Snacks: Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
The last time I was this excited for the Super Bowl was back in 2004; the only other time in my lifespan that my hometown team was a contender in the game. This year, I am crossing my fingers for a big W. Here is my current favorite app for game day. Go Birds! xo RCN
Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
INGREDIENTS (yields about 2 dozen):
1 lb Ground Chicken (a little more than one pound is fine, too)
1 Egg
1/2 Cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 Carrot (grated & chopped) + sliced carrots for side/garnish
1 Stalk of celery (chopped fine) +sliced celery for side/garnish
3 Cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp Paprika
2 Green onions + some for garnish (chopped)
1/4 tsp Kosher salt
1/4 tsp Cracked pepper
1/3 Cup Franks Buffalo Wing Sauce (for coating)
1 Tbsp Butter (for coating)
Ranch &/or Blue cheese dressing on the side
INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 400 F and set aside a greased baking tray (OR grease tinfoil and place on sheet to make clean up easy). Set aside. Chop and mince all veggies and garlic. Set aside some of the green onion for garnish. Cut additional carrot and celery sticks for side dish.
Combine ground meat, egg, all dry ingredients and chopped vegetables in a mixing bowl (everything except buffalo sauce, ranch/blue cheese and butter). Mix until evenly combined.
Roll into small meatballs about 1" circumference. Place on tray and bake for about 20 minutes. Flip meatballs about 10 minutes into baking to help cook evenly (it's ok if they aren't perfect balls!!). While meatballs bake, combine butter and hot sauce and melt together in microwave.
Remove meatballs from oven, toss around in buffalo/butter sauce and serve w/ ranch or blue cheese dressing. Serve beside carrots & celery and top with green onions. For the finishing touch use these cute football party picks.
