Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 larges Eggs
2 tablespoons Olive oil
½ tablespoon Chopped capers
1 tablespoon Finely chopped parsley
1 teaspoon Anchovy paste
¼ teaspoon Finely chopped garlic
¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
12 smalls Stri pimento; for garnish

Directions

Put the eggs in cold water to cover and bring to boil. Boil slowly for 10 minutes, then rinse and set in cold water to cool. When cool, remove the shells, and cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks without damaging the whites. Set whites aside.

Combine the egg yolks with remaining ingredients, except pimiento, in a bowl. Using a fork, mash to creamy, uniform consistency. Spoon into the cavities of the reserved egg whites. Garnish each with a strip of pimiento.

These can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated, but serve at room temperature. Makes 6 servings.
