This is just the right time to talk about something that I have always wondered about: Do Spanish expressions coincide with the English ones? For example I say: Ojo por ojo and in English you say An eye for an eye. The meaning of the expression is the same in the two languages and the words we used also mean the same... Isn't it pretty?Now, let's choose another one: A buen hambre no hay pan duro (literally translated means that when you are hungry there's no hard/old bread) and in English you say: Hunger is the best sauce. Also, we say: ni hablar del peluquín, which means No way! and literally translated would be: no way we'll talk about the men's wig. This one is funny... ugh?
You cannot imagine how many expressions we have about eggs! I chose some for you :D
Olé tus huevos - We say this to a person that's been very daring or brave.
Costar un huevo - It costs an egg... meaning it's expensive.
Andar pisando huevos - To walk on eggs... meaning to walk very slowly.
Tener huevos - To the have eggs... to have the guts.
Me toca los huevos - It touches my eggs... It's pissing me off.
Estoy hasta los huevos! - I'm up to the eggs... I'm fed up.
Of course, some of these eggs are not only hen's... they have a sexual connotation too.
And now to the recipe!I picked this Recipe from Rachel's blog Coconut & Lime. She has an event going on to celebrate her 4 year blogging... Pffffiiiiiuuuuuu... Congratulations Rachel!!! We are supposed to choose a recipe of hers and perform it in our blog. The title of this one got all my attention... I didn't know what Spanish Deviled Eggs were, so here they are... one never ends learning, right?
Ingredients for 4 servings: 8 boiled eggs, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 1/2 teaspoon of capers, 1 fresh parsley finely minced and some hot red paprika. Two green hot peppers aside.
In a small bowl mix all ingredients together with the eggs' yolks (not the green peppers). Use this sauce to fill the eggs halves and sprinkle with a bit of additional paprika.
The tablespoons were not large. Please see the original recipe here. I must say we enjoyed it very much :D
