Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a large baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to the boil
  • Pull out a small frying pan, a large bowl, a sieve & a slotted spoon

Get roasting

  • Dice the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel optional)
  • Place onto the lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 mins, until soft and golden
  • Place the garlic onto a piece of foil or parchment paper, drizzle with 1/2 tsp oil and loosely fold into a parcel. Add to the tray and roast for 8-10 mins, until softened. Remove and set aside to cool

Prep & boil

  • Meanwhile, trim and cut the green beans into thirds. Halve the tomatoes. Trim and thinly slice the lettuce. Drain the half pack of anchovies
  • Rinse the eggs. Carefully lower into the saucepan using a spoon. Boil for 7 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon and run under cold water

Dressing time

  • Peel and mash the cooled garlic with the back of a fork
  • To the large bowl, add the mustard, red wine vinegar, roasted garlic, half the honey and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Add the tomatoes to the bowl and toss
  • In the final 10 mins, add the green beans to the tray alongside the potato. Toss with 1/2 tsp oil, season with salt and pepper and roast for the remaining time, until tender

Make the seed topping

  • Heat the small frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seed mix and a pinch of salt
  • Toast for 1 min, then add the remaining honey and cook for a further minute, until sticky. Set aside to cool

Plate up

  • Carefully peel and quarter the eggs
  • When everything is ready, add the potatoes, green beans and lettuce to the dressing bowl and toss to mix
  • Share the salad between bowls, topped with the eggs and anchovies. Scatter over the seed topping
  • Finish with a drizzle of 1/2 tsp olive oil
