This vibrant twist on the classic devilled eggs is a must try. Overnight marination infuses the eggs with a lively pink hue - they are then piped with a garlic and cayenne filling made using the yolks. Topped with black pepper, chives and a touch of lemon zest, these devilled eggs are irresistible.
Begin a day ahead of serving by preparing the marinated eggs. Drain the cooked beetroots from the cans, retaining the cooking liquid
Boil the eggs for 10 minutes, then leave to cool in the iced water
Peel the cooled eggs, then add them to a container with the beetroot cooking liquid. Cover with cling film or a lid, then store overnight in the fridge
The next day, remove the now pink eggs from the beetroot juice brine
Slice the eggs in half and remove the yolks
Add the yolks to a large mixing bowl then add the remaining filling ingredients
Mix well until a thick, pipable consistency is reached, adding more mayonnaise as needed
Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Leave in the fridge until needed
Lay out all of the halved egg whites on a plate, then pipe the yolk filling inside the whites
Garnish each pink devilled egg with a sprinkle of the lemon zest, black pepper and chives
