Makes 24 deviled eggs

Bright lemon zest, briny capers and salty anchovies complement each other in this Mediterranean version of the classic deviled egg. Omit anchovies if you don't like them, or garnish with a tiny sliver of an anchovy fillet if you like them a lot! Ingredients with an asterisk (*) are available in the Whole Foods Market Family of Brands.

Ingredients

1 dozen large eggs*
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, more for garnish
1 tablespoon finely chopped, rinsed capers
1/4 teaspoon anchovy paste, more to taste
Zest of 1 lemon, finely minced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3 tablespoons mayonnaise*
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard*
2 tablespoons cold water
Pepper to taste

Method

Place eggs in a pot large enough to hold them all in a single layer. Cover by 3 inches of cold water and place on the stovetop over high heat. Once the water starts simmering briskly, reduce heat to medium high and cook for 12 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer eggs to a bowl of ice-cold water. Let cool for 5 or 10 minutes, then peel. Slice eggs lengthwise. Remove yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Arrange egg white halves on a rimmed baking sheet.

To prepare the filling, add parsley, capers, anchovy paste, lemon zest, mayonnaise, mustard and water to yolks and mash. Taste and add pepper. The filling will be salty from the capers and anchovy, so additional salt will not be needed.

Use two small spoons to scoop filling into egg white halves. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
