Method

  • step 1

    Slice the potatoes, there’s no need to skin them, then cook in boiling salted water until tender, about 20 mins, adding the beans halfway through. Drain well, then toss in 1 tbsp olive oil.

  • step 2

    Boil the eggs for 5 mins, drain, cool and shell. Quarter, deseed and chop the tomato. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan, fry the lardoons until crisp and turning brown. Add the garlic and tomato and heat through briefly.

  • step 3

    Divide the potatoes and beans between two plates. Stir the basil and vinegar into the pan and heat through briefly, then spoon over the salad. Cut the eggs in half and sit them on top.

This is a lovely recipe with the beans and tomatoes from my veggie plot. For a vegetarian option, I replaced the lardons with spring onions.

This is a great meal, filling but light. I always use smoked salmon instead of the lardons, that works really well too!

I made this last night, added an extra egg and found it was enough for three for a nice lunch/supper. My only recommendation would get the eggs boiling straight away to give them adequate time to cool.

This is a lovely simple recipe but I enjoy it every single time. A total winner.

That was great, the warm vinaigrette, garlic, and basil work really well together. The recipe is stored in my binder and I am sure I will be making it again in the none too distant future. It's an unbelievably simple recipe to make, but one of the best I have tried in a while.
