Method
- Put the eggs in a small pan of cold water and bring to the boil. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then plunge immediately into cold water and leave to cool.
- Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a pan of cold salted water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes until tender, adding the beans for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and refresh the beans in cold water. Leave the potatoes until cool enough to handle, then slice in halves or quarters, if large.
- To make the dressing, whisk the wine vinegar and mustard with the crushed garlic, season with a pinch of sugar, sea salt and black pepper, then gradually pour in the oil, whisking until thick.
- Peel the eggs and cut into quarters. Put the lettuce leaves in a bowl with the sliced egg, potatoes, beans, anchovies, olives and parsley. Pour over the dressing, mix carefully, then serve.
