Ingredients

9 total
  • 200 g of lardons
  • 10 quails' eggs
  • 200 g of fresh garden peas
  • 160 g of sugar snaps
  • 80 g of pea tops
  • 4 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1.5 tbsp of cider vinegar
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp of dijon mustard

Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Cook the lardons in a frying pan over a moderate heat until golden and crisp. Remove from the pan and leave on some kitchen paper to cool.

  2. Step 2

    Place the quails' eggs in a pan of boiling water, bring the water back to the boil and cook for 2 1/2 minutes. Drain and then cover with cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel and halve.

  3. Step 3

    Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the peas and sugar snaps and cook for 1 minute. Drain thoroughly and then cover with cold water.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, garlic and mustard together.

  5. Step 5

    Drain the peas and sugar snaps thoroughly and toss together with the pea tops and lardons. Divide between 4 bowls. Top with the quails' eggs and serve with the dressing.
