Canned Cod Liver Is The Secret Ingredient For Excellent Deviled Eggs
By John Segura
Cod liver is a delicacy in countries such as France, Denmark, Iceland, and Russia, and introducing it to deviled eggs adds a bright and intriguing flavor to the tasty appetizer.
Cod liver, cod liver oil, and eggs have a lot of nutritional value, and the best way to try something new is to incorporate it into something familiar.
A scientific study in The Journal of Nutrition found that cod liver protein, like egg protein, is easily digested and contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A and D.
There are plenty of recipes online with instructions on how to make deviled eggs with canned cod liver, and they're pretty similar to how you would make a regular batch of them.
Hard-boil your eggs and chill them in an ice bath immediately afterward so they don't overcook. Peel and slice them in half vertically, and spoon the yolks into a bowl.
Then, add in the cod liver and its oil. You don't need to add mayonnaise because the yolks will emulsify and bind with the cod liver oil to create a creamy texture.
Depending on your personal preference, you can add your typical deviled-egg ingredients like olives, lemon, dill, onions, or chives.
