Sunday Deviled Eggs with Pickled Okra and Smoked Paprika

Some Sundays we’ll get dollar dumplings from the surly lady at Fried Dumpling and then stroll over to the Lower East Side.  Check out some of the vintage shops, maybe split a treat from the Doughnut Plant.  And then off to the Pickle Guys for our usual roster of half sours, jalapeño stuffed olives, peperoncini and a pint of pickled okra.  Pickled okra? Eat it straight, in a bloody mary, or as the best garnish for deviled eggs… 

Hard boiled eggs, yolks smashed with light mayo and sour cream or plain greek yogurt.  Chopped onion, garlic powder, curry powder, salt and white pepper.   Maybe a bit of tabasco.  Spooned into halved whites, garnished with a slice of pickled okra.  Smoked paprika over.     

 I can eat like ten of these.  Really.  The tot can put them away too.
