It is so boiling hot here and my friend gave this for lunch, it was so good. I believe she got it from Delia Smith's recipe book.
Poach eggs 2 at a time in simmering water till they are done as you like them and then pop them into cold water till ready to serve.
The SAUCE:
(My friend substituted Arugula for the Watercress in the following Sauce.)
4 oz of cleaned and dried watercress leaves (arugula) set aside.
2 eggs, broken into food processor
Add 1 clove garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tsp (English) dried mustard powder
twist of fresh milled black pepper
Blend this all together.
Slowly add 10fl oz peanut oil in a thin stream while the machine is running. (I think she used Evoo here)
When all oil is in
Add
2 tsp wine vinegar
1 tsp lemon juice
and the leaves and blend well.
Sauce starts to look speckled and green.
Wash and dry some lettuce leaves (she used the reddish oak lettuce) and place them around each plate.
Set one or two eggs in the centre of each plate(Drain them well when you take them out of the cold water)
Spoon some sauce over the eggs and serve with wonderful warm crusty bread...
Oy Yummmm!
