Meatless Monday: Deviled Farm Fresh Eggs with Beet Relish

There's no comparison to the amazing eggs you can get at the Greenmarket. The bright, nutrient packed yolks are the spotlight in this Meatless Monday deviled egg recipe.


It's true, the fresher the egg, the harder to peel. A solution that works for stubborn shells: Using a thumbtack, poke a small hole in the larger end of egg before boiling. Add 1 t. of vinegar to boiling water. Submerge boiled eggs in cold water before peeling. - Kelly Faust, Carroll Gardens Greenmarket
