Ingredients
  • 6-12 eggs
  • a small amount cup of mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • a few drops of olive oil
  • a sprinkle of sumac
  • a pinch of parsley
  • a sprinkle of cumin
  • a pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Begin by boiling 6–12 eggs in simmering water for 12–14 minutes until fully cooked. Transfer immediately to an ice bath, allow them to cool completely, then peel carefully.

  2. 2

    Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks into a bowl.

  3. 3

    Mash the yolks until smooth, then mix in tahini, a small amount of mayonnaise for creaminess, fresh lemon juice, a pinch of ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture becomes silky and well balanced. Adjust the lemon and tahini to taste—you want a slightly nutty and tangy flavour.

  4. 4

    Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites.

  5. 5

    Finish by sprinkling sumac over the top and garnishing with finely chopped parsley. For an extra authentic touch, drizzle a few drops of good olive oil.

Chef's Notes

This is my middle eastern inspired version of the classic devilled egg recipe.
