Cooking Instructions

25 mins
  1. 1

    Get your salad prepped and pile onto serving plate. Everything but herbs, olive oil, lemon juice & seasoning.

  2. 2

    Prep Gremolata and set aside.

  3. 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. 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. 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. 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.
    Bloody beautiful! Enjoy!
