This weekend was the first NCSU home game of the year! We are big wolfpack fans at our house, so we were excited to tailgate. However, being on the 30 day challenge meant I had to prepare paleo friendly food.
I knew there were plenty of meat options, but I didn't want to eat just meat. After a few "paleo tailgate" searches on google I had lots of great ideas! We had: Paleo deviled eggs (recipe below), prosciutto wrapped asparagus, grilled sausage, paleo chicken wings, olives and pickled veggies, and celery dipped in guacamole!
Paleo Deviled Eggs - I modified my recipe from one I found on CavemanForum
Deviled Egg Ingredients
• 7 hard boiled eggs
• 1/4 cup of paleo mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
• salt and pepper to taste
• pickle relish (not sweetened) (Trader Joes has a great dill version that does no have added sweetener)
• paprika for garnish
Paleo Mayonnaise Ingredients
• 2 egg yolks
• 3 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• Salt and Pepper to taste.
Directions for Mayo:
Place the egg yolk and 1/2 tsp lemon juice in a bowl and start whisking furiously. Begin to add the oil very slowly. Start with just a drop or two at a time. when the mixture begins to thicken you can pour the oil in at a faster pace. Once the mayo is thick and the oil is added pour the rest of the lemon juice in.
Directions for deviled eggs:
Cut eggs in half along the vertical and remove the yolks and set aside in a small bowl.
Use a fork to mash the yolk.
Add Paleo Mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt and pepper, mix well.
Distribute the yolk mixture evenly into the egg halves.
Sprinkle with paprika!
These were a delicious hit! My brother said they tasted just like regular deviled eggs! The game was a lot of fun, we even won! GO PACK!
