Chorizo & soft-boiled egg salad
Ingredients
- 500g Baby New Potatoes
- 4 Egg
- 225g Green Beans
- 225g Chorizo
- 1 sliced Garlic Clove
- 2 tbsp Sherry vinegar
- 2 tbsp chopped Parsley
Instructions
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for about 12 minutes until tender. After 6 minutes, carefully add the eggs, then add the green beans for the final 2 minutes. Drain everything and cool the eggs under cold running water before peeling.
- Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium heat and fry the chorizo slices for 1–2 minutes until they begin to crisp and release their oils. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the oil in the pan.
- Add the sliced garlic to the pan and cook gently for about 1 minute without browning. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the sherry vinegar and chopped parsley to make a warm dressing.
- Place the potatoes, green beans and chorizo in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing, season with salt and pepper and toss gently. Cut the eggs into quarters and fold them through the salad.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- For a perfect jammy yolk, boil large eggs for exactly 6 and a half minutes, then plunge immediately into an ice bath.
- Toss the salad greens in the warm chorizo oil for a built-in dressing that is full of flavor.
- Add the eggs to the salad just before serving and crack them open to let the yolk act as a second dressing component.
Variations
- Potato Salad: Add warm, boiled new potatoes to turn this into a more filling, warm potato salad.
- Crunchy: Add toasted croutons or roasted pumpkin seeds for extra texture.
Storage
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a side of buttery toast soldiers for dipping into the egg yolks.
- Pair with a chilled glass of dry Rosé.
