Instructions
- Put the eggs into a small pot of water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 4 minutes only, then drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to chill. Drain. (do not leave the eggs in the ice bath; you want the yolks to be runny).
- Peel the eggs and add to a large mixing bowl. Beat with a whisk; the yolks should be runny. Don't worry if it's lumpy. Add all of the remaining ingredients and mix well. Transfer to a bowl or jar with lid and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving or using. The remoulade will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
