As with all ingredients, the better quality the eggs (use fresh free-range eggs), the better the finished dish. Eat this salad with the poached egg on top allowing the yolk to run down over the other ingredients.

Ingredients

1kg broad beans, podded
1kg waxy potatoes
12 slices prosciutto
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
60ml (1/4 cup) mustard seed oil
60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
6 free range medium eggs
Chopped parsley to garnish

Preparation

Blanch broad beans in boiling water for 2–3 minutes. Refresh, then remove and discard pale green skins, set aside inner beans. Boil potatoes until tender, allow to cool and then peel.

Cut prosciutto in half lengthwise and roll into small cigar shapes.
Whisk mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper together. Slowly whisk in oils until combined.

Place potatoes in a steamer and heat for 3–4 minutes. Remove and slice on an angle. Lay 4–5 slices in the centre of each plate, scatter broad beans over and add 2 pieces of prosciutto. Layer more potatoes, beans and prosciutto until all are used. Drizzle dressing over the top.

Heat a wide pan of water to simmering point. Break eggs in gently and cook until white is firm, 3–4 minutes. Remove carefully using a slotted spoon. Place one egg on top of each potato and bean salad.
Scatter with parsley, grind pepper on top and serve immediately.

Serves 6 as a light lunch or entree.

Hot Tips

How to store spices

Spices are generally at their best for up to a month, if stored correctly. Store spices in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Humidity, light and heat will cause herbs and spices to quickly lose their flavour.

Glossary

Tahini

A paste or butter obtained from grinding sesame seeds. Used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking, often to thicken hommos or other dips but also as a sweet filling in cakes and pastries.
