Healing Nutrient Spotlight
Lutein
Ingredients
12 large organic, omega-3 eggs
1/3 cup organic mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped canned chipotle chilies
24 fresh cilantro leaves
Sea salt (optional)
Preparation
Place eggs in large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Bring to simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer gently 5 minutes. Remove from heat and drain eggs. Cover with ice and water and let stand until cold. Peel eggs and cut in half lengthwise. Spoon yolks into small bowl; arrange whites on a serving platter. Mash yolks with a fork in a medium bowl. Mix in mayonnaise, then chopped chipotle chilies. Season filling to taste with salt, if desired. Using pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch-diameter star tip, pipe filling into egg whites. Cover and chill eggs at least 2 hours. Press 1 cilantro leaf into filling in each egg and serve.
