Broad bean, bulgur wheat and peach salad with a poached egg and mustard and yoghurt dressing

Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

  • Dressing

  • 30ml (2 tbsp) wholegrain mustard
  • 15ml (1 tbsp) honey
  • 45ml (3 tbsp) white wine vinegar
  • zest of ½ lemon
  • 210g (¾ cup) Greek yoghurt
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Salad

  • 285g (1½ cups) bulgur wheat
  • 750ml (3 cups) chicken/vegetable stock, warm
  • 350g broad beans, shelled
  • ½ red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 fresh peaches, sliced into thin wedges
  • 125ml (½ cup) white wine vinegar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 100g watercress
  • 60ml (¼ cup) onion sprouts

Instructions

1

For the dressing, stir all of the ingredients together and season.

2

For the salad, place the bulgur wheat in a bowl and pour over the warm stock. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to stand for 10 – 15 minutes.

3

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the beans for 4 – 5 minutes and refresh in cold water. Remove the skins and toss the beans together with the red onion and peach wedges. Stir in the bulgur wheat.

4

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the white wine vinegar (this will make poaching the egg easier). When the water starts to simmer, stir it gently with a spoon to form a whirlpool. Let it stand for 15 seconds, break open a fresh egg and gently pour the egg into the water. Poach for 3 – 4 minutes or longer if you prefer less runny yolks. When cooked, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Repeat with remaining eggs.

5

Divide the watercress between 4 plates, add a spoonful or 2 of the bulgur wheat mixture and top with a poached egg. Drizzle with dressing and scatter onion sprouts on top.

Notes

The dressing can be made in advance and kept in the fridge for up to a week. If you can’t find peaches, replace with fresh plums.
