To make the egg salad place the eggs into a bowl and mash them with a potato masher until you have a mealy mash. Then add the mayonnaise, curry powder, bread and butters, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro and the hot pepper. Season with salt and pepper then mix to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Ask the hotline about this step!Spread the egg salad across one side of each piece of bread. Place the bread on a plate egg side up.
Ask the hotline about this step!Using a mandoline or Japanese slice shave three radishes across the top of each tartine or sprinkle them if you sliced them with a knife.
Ask the hotline about this step!Garnish each tartine with pea shoots and a couple of cilantro leaves. Drizzle with walnut oil and give each a few grinds of black pepper, then serve.
Ask the hotline about this step!Thanks Oui, Chef. I often wonder why we don't do a lot of things here.
I hate that Rachel Ray has over used this word, but it does apply, "Yum"
Thanks MyCommunalTable, yum is still and will be an appropriate word for tasty food no matter how much abuse RR gives it.
This looks wonderful! I'm a big egg salad girl and I'm making this tomorrow. BTW, I love pea shoots. I get a bunch of them from a nearby farm and have found all kinds of things to add them to. Perfect topping for this tartine.
Thanks Chez Suzanne and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
ahHA! I didn't even realize I was posting a curry-egg-radish recipe right after you (much different though). I love curry in deviled eggs, so I can only imagine how good this is...especially with the fresh radishes. Lovely picture, as well (you've done it again!).
the more the merrier, LFLtE, is what I always say. That omelet looks delicious.
thanks healthierkitchen. The walnut oil added a lot to it for sure.
why not rye?
I should clarify and say caraway rye and the only reason is I don't imagine caraway rye to be a first choice.
thanks, just curious
often order egg salad on rye toast
your recipe does seem overly elegant for caraway rye
This looks really good and I'm not even a fan of egg salad. I can imagine that it would taste delicious prepared this way and especially, paired with radishes.
thanks gingerroot.
Would eat this every day if I could! I love pea shoots and love the additions of the spices and walnut oil
One of the things I really miss about living in France is the really fabulous tartines you can find on almost any corner. Why don't we make more of them here? This one looks quite perfect with a great mix of flavors and textures, sure to keep my mouth eager for the next bite. - S
