Egg and Rocket Salad
Salads that don’t get eaten straight away often end up fed to the tortoise. I enjoy a salad that is freshly made and this salad easy to make for one person. Rocket is really good and available for most of the year, but you can also use any other herbs with a ‘bite’. Try dandelion, mustard greens, sorrel, watercress or a combination.
As with any salad you can add or subtract ingredients as you wish, and with what you have on hand
The recipe
A few lettuce leaves
Handful of rocket leaves
Chives, snipped
1 sun-dried tomato, finely chopped
1 egg
Shaved Parmesan
Oil & vinegar dressing
Croutons (optional)
Salt & pepper
Mix the lettuce, rocket leaves, sun- dried tomato and chives in a dish.
Poach the egg: To do this, bring a pan of water to the boil. Add 1 tsp vinegar.
Crack the egg into a large spoon and slowly slide it into the boiling water. (You can also cheat and keep it on the spoon for about half a minute so it keeps its shape) Cook for 4 minutes for a soft egg, about 6 minutes for a hard one.
Place the egg onto the greens and shave thin slices of Parmesan cheese on top.
Pour over the dressing, season and add croutons if using.
Eat immediately.
