Beet-Pickled Deviled Eggs

Servings 24 people

Ingredients

  • 2-3 pounds red beets, trimmed
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons natural cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 24 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1 pound low-fat or regular cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce such as Tabasco
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce or liquid aminos
  • Capers, fresh dill, or chopped chives, for garnish

Instructions

  • First, toss cut or whole beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place in a deep roasting pan with 1/2-1 inch of water to catch the beet juices. Roast at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until very tender (large beets can take longer). Remove from oven, reserving accumulated juices.
  • To make the marinade, combine beet juices (as much as possible), vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, cloves, bay leaves, and salt; stir well to combine.
  • Peel hard-boiled eggs and place in marinade, preferably without touching. Refrigerate for 24 hours, rotating halfway through to ensure that all surfaces marinate.
  • Remove eggs from marinade and halve lengthwise. Scoop yolks into a bowl and whisk. Fold in cream cheese, mayo, mustard, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcestershire or liquid aminos, and salt and pepper to taste. Pipe into egg-white halves and garnish as desired.
