Going underground – Car park poached egg salad.

The Wicklow Hunter has nearly forgiven me for my previous transgressions. You remember, the Don Draper conundrum. The only thing is, since my faux pas, he refuses to come into the office and insists on leaving free range egg gifts behind my car in our underground car park. This was different. The Hunter rang me and suggested a clandestine meeting beside the car. The secret meeting was to give me a range (free range that is) of eggs, rocket, lettuce, spring onions, tomatoes, brocoli and a fresh ‘Herb de Provence’ mixture. He had grown all the vegetables in his garden in the ‘Garden of Ireland’, County Wicklow.

I was a bit stunned with his generosity and wanted to do justice to the wonderful fresh home-grown, organic, free range Wicklow produce. The best thing I could do with most of it was to come up with a completely over descriptive name and prepare Poached Organic Free Range Eggs Served Over Organic Wicklow Garden Grown Salad. l have shown you how to do perfect poached eggs before in this post. So I won’t bore you with the details again. Here’s a few pictures to enthuse you for what I did this time:

There is an intensity of flavour in home-grown vegetables that you can’t get any other way.

Gratuitous egg and salad shot. There is no reason for it except that I liked it.

The proof of the Poached Organic Free Range Eggs Served Over Organic Wicklow Garden Grown Salad is in the eating.

The Wicklow Hunter has done a lot to keep this blog fresh and tasty with his gifts. For now, I’ll just enjoy the rest of the eggs and look forward to the next clandestine car park meeting.
