Huevos Rellenos "Stuffed Hard-Boiled Eggs"
Huevos Rellenos is another popular traditional Spanish tapa dish. My wife loves this stuffed hard-boiled egg recipe, so I make it for her often. Not being a big fan of canned tuna or hard-boiled eggs, this one is for her! Again, like so many similar dishes, you can really be creative with the filling. The traditional recipe below uses tuna and mayonnaise, but my wife prefers tomato sauce instead of the mayo. Like shrimp? Put those in there. Like flavored cream cheese? Go for it! Use your imagination, you can't mess it up! This traditional egg recipe is a breeze to make and I hope you give it a try for your next tapas meal! 
Serves: 4 tapas portionsPreparation time: about 20 minutes INGREDIENTS 4 XL eggs 1 small can tuna packed in olive oil about 6-8 TB mayonnaise 1 TB flat-leaf parsley finely chopped 1 ts lemon juice 2 shallots or 1/4 onion finely chopped 1 clove garlic finely chopped 1 TB olive oil salt and pepper to taste DIRECTIONS Hard boil the eggs and let cool. Cut off the top and carefully remove the yolk and reserve both parts. In a small pan, heat the oil and cook the shallot and garlic until they are soft (about 10 minutes). In a large bowl, add the cooked egg yolk, tuna, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, shallot, parsley and salt and pepper. Mix well and spoon into each egg. Serve and enjoy!
