Cooking Instructions

  1. To make the dressing, combine the oil, zest and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
  2. Trim the stalks of the herbs, reserving only the leaves. Larger leaves can be torn into smaller pieces. Wash and dry the leaves very well in a salad spinner.
  3. Poach the eggs and keep them warm.
  4. To plate individual salads for a starter, lightly dress the herbs with the dressing and divide between four plates.
  5. Divide the parmesan shavings between the plates and place them between the leaves.
  6. Make a “nest” between the herbs and place the poached egg in the centre.
  7. Drizzle with a last bit of dressing and top the egg with cracked black pepper and Maldon salt.
  8. Serve with the egg still warm.
