Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 quality anchovies in oil
½ a lemon
½ a bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley
½ a bunch of fresh chives
1 dried red chilli
4 large free-range eggs
2 round lettuces
1 red chicory
1 white chicory
1 x 20 g punnet cress
SALAD CREAM
½ a clove of garlic
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
6 tablespoons rapeseed oil
3 tablespoons buttermilk

Steps:

  • Halve the anchovies lengthways, then place in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of the anchovy oil, the lemon zest and juice.
  • Pick the parsley leaves, then finely chop along with the chives. Add a little to the bowl.
  • In another bowl, peel and crush the garlic, then whisk together with the remaining salad cream ingredients. Season to taste and set aside.
  • Make a chilli salt by bashing the chilli and 3 tablespoons of sea salt in a pestle and mortar. Set aside.
  • Boil the eggs in salted water for about 6 minutes, refresh in cold water until cool enough to handle, then peel each egg and set aside.
  • Pick the inner leaves of the round lettuces. Finely slice the chicory bases, and separate the leaves. Arrange on a serving platter.
  • Scatter over the remaining chopped parsley and chives, snip over the cress, then halve the eggs and place on top.
  • Sprinkle over some chilli salt and divide the anchovies between the eggs, drizzling over a little of the anchovy marinade too. Serve with the salad cream on the side - so simple, so delicious.

  • To make the perfect hard-boiled eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • For a creamier egg salad, mash the yolks and whites together with a fork until they are smooth. If you prefer a chunkier egg salad, chop the eggs into small pieces.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins to the egg salad to create a unique flavor. Some popular options include celery, onion, red pepper, pickles, bacon, and avocado.
  • If you don't have any squash boats, you can use other vegetables as a serving vessel. Try bell peppers, tomatoes, or even lettuce leaves.
  • Egg salad is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great option for a picnic or potluck.
