Poached Eggs with Herb Filled Salad & Gremolata

Ingredients

  • (Salad)
  • Small handful sugar snap peas
  • 1/2 Lebanese cucumber, halved lengthways & sliced diagonally
  • 5 red perino cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 5 gold (yellow) perino cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Small handful baby Beetroot leaves
  • Small handful baby spinach leaves
  • A few slices red onion
  • 1 & 1/2 tsp fresh oregano leaves
  • 1 & 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 Tbsp fresh mint leaves
  • 2 radishes, thinly sliced
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt & cracked black pepper
  • (Gremolata)
  • 3 Tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1/2 garlic clove, microplane
  • 1 tsp lemon zest, microplane
  • (Poached Eggs)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt

Directions

  1. Get your salad prepped and pile onto serving plate. Everything but herbs, olive oil, lemon juice & seasoning.
  2. Prep Gremolata and set aside.
  3. Now for eggs. In a large pot, half fill with water, add salt and vinegar and bring to the boil. Reduce heat until it is gently simmering- little bubbles rising from centre of pot.
  4. Crack eggs into separate small bowls. Now with a large spoon, stir water in pot to make a slow whirlpool and drop eggs into the centre of whirlpool. Do this one at a time maybe 20 seconds apart. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to keep runny yolk.
  5. Remove eggs with slotted spoon and place on top of salad. Sprinkle Gremolata over the top. Now sprinkle herbs- drizzle olive oil, squeeze lemon juice over- season and serve.
  6. I served mine with thinly sliced coriander/ lemon & lime flavoured roasted chicken breast- but I imagine fresh or fried leg ham would be nice too.
  7. Bloody beautiful! Enjoy!
