Chorizo and Smoked Paprika Deviled Eggs

I wanted to make deviled eggs but with a new or different twist. The thought that came to my mind was chorizo and I've been using smoked paprika in other dishes lately so I thought I'd use that also. It ended up to be a very good combination.  It came out to be a creamy chorizo eggs with a touch of spice and smokey flavor.

Ingredients 
  • Cured Spanish Chorizo
  • eggs
  • onions
  • smoked paprika
  • mayo
  • salt and pepper
We use cured Spanish Chorizo




Make some hard boil eggs then peel, cut in half and take out the egg yolks
Save the egg yolks
Dice the chorizo into about ¼" cubes then put in a pan over low heat. Slowly heat the chorizo until you render oil from them.
Next dice some onions
Add the onions to the chorizo, cook them together with the onions absorbing the flavor of the render chorizo oil.
Mash up the egg yolks
Add the Chorizo and onion mix to the egg yolks
Add smoked paprika and a bit of your choice of hot sauce. Add just enough hot sauce to suit your taste
add mayo...
Mix until all the ingredients are uniformly mixed. Then using a small ice cream scoop or teaspoon, evenly divide the mix into the white egg halves.
The result is a chorizo deviled egg with a touch of spice and smoke flavor
