Potatoes and tofu tasting like deviled eggs? I can’t be serious, right? Well, I’m absolutely serious, folks!
Before going vegan and learning about the cruelty of the egg industry, (yes, this includes free-range and backyard hens) I really enjoyed deviled eggs. There was just something about the creamy, sulfur tasting filling and the chewiness of the egg whites. It was the perfect appetizer at a party.
While I don’t miss eating eggs, I was really excited to mess around with this recipe and find a way to re-create these tasty party appetizers.
I saw a lot of recipes roasting the potatoes, but I thought that wouldn’t hold up well for an appetizer that is supposed to be cold.
Boiling the potatoes, letting them cool and then sprinkling them with a little black salt (more on this in a second) created a mouthfeel and taste that was extremely similar to egg whites.
Next, we had to recreate the egg yolk filling. I really loved using tofu for this. You can also use chickpeas. Tofu is really nice because it holds up really well and absorbs all the flavors that you mix with it. Plus, it’s high in protein!
While I chose to keep my egg filling a bit more chunky, you can make it smooth like a deviled egg by blending the filling ingredients in a blender or food processor.
Back to the black salt. This stuff is unreal. It’s used in a lot of Indian cooking. It’s basically salt that has a sulfur taste to it, so it smells like an egg. You can easily order this online.
This stuff is a vegan pantry essential. Especially if you’re transitioning from being a vegetarian and want to recreate the many egg dishes that you’re used to.
There you have it! Enjoy this delicious, easy, high protein vegan deviled egg. Share it with all of your friends at your next party.
