Method

  • step 1

    Make the vinaigrette by whisking all the ingredients in a bowl with some seasoning. Cut the dandelion tips (or frisée leaves) and salad leaves to a similar size, wash and dry.

  • step 2

    Fry the smoked pork belly in a little butter, stirring until lightly golden and some of the fat has been released, then add the croutons, fry them until warm, and stir in the chopped parsley.

  • step 3

    Poach the eggs in gently simmering salted water for 4 minutes, until the whites have set but the yolks are still runny.

  • step 4

    Season the salad leaves with most of the vinaigrette, divide between 4 bowls, and sprinkle with the pork and croutons. Lift the poached eggs from the water using a slotted spoon, dry with a paper towel and put in the centre of the salad. Drizzle some vinaigrette over the eggs and sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper and more parsley to serve.
