A salad of smoked eel, Cheltenham beetroot, soft boiled free range egg, mustard mustard and horseradish dressing from Bumpkin for Taste of London

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 200g smoked eel
  • 2 Cheltenham beetroots (roasted)
  • 4 free range eggs
  • 400g Pink Fir or new potatoes
  • 100g mixed leaves
  • 100g watercress
  • ¼ bunch of chopped parsley

For the dressing

  • 2 free range egg yolks
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 300ml vegetable oil
  • 1 to 2 tsp white wine vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp boiling water
  • 50g fresh horseradish
  • 2 tsp creamed horseradish
  • 1 glove crushed garlic

Method: How to make salad of smoked eel with mustard and horseradish dressing

1. Whisk egg yolks, mustard, vinegar/lemon juice until well mixed. Gradually beat in the oil, drop by drop. When the sauce shows signs of thickening add the oil a little more quickly, adding boiling water to lighten the mayonnaise. Fold in the grated and creamed horseradish and garlic.

2. In boiling water place your eggs and time for 5-6 minutes, do this just before serving.

3. Mix all the salad ingredients together and fold in dressing. Place in four bowls and peel freshly soft boiled eggs and place one on each serving.
