Deviled eggs get way more interesting when the eggs are pickled in a tangy turmeric-spiked brine that also dyes them a lovely color. The longer the eggs marinate in the brine, the firmer they become and the more vibrant the color gets. For a tangier flavor, use some of the brine instead of water to loosen the filling.

For best results, slice the radishes as thinly as possible. If you have a mandoline, this is the time to use it, but you can also slice them by hand (small ones are easiest to cut by hand). Chill the radishes and lemon juice at least 30 minutes, and keep in mind that the longer you chill them, the pinker they'll become.
