Ingredients

4 large free-range eggs
200g tenderstem broccoli
5 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2x 250g pouches cooked puy lentils
100g pitted black olives, roughly chopped
Bunch fresh flatleaf parsley, chopped
1 tsp gluten-free dijon mustard
1½ tbsp sherry vinegar
1 small shallot, finely chopped
300g hot-smoked salmon fillets

Method

Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer, then gently lower in the eggs and cook for 6 minutes for soft-boiled. Drain and run under cold water to stop them cooking more. Carefully peel, then cut in half and set aside.
Heat a griddle or frying pan over a medium heat. Toss the broccoli in a drizzle of oil and griddle, turning, for 4-5 minutes until charred and just tender. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and toss together with the lentils, chopped olives and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the 5 tbsp olive oil, dijon mustard, sherry vinegar and shallot with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add half the dressing to the lentils and broccoli, mix well and spread out on a serving platter. Flake the salmon and arrange over the lentils along with the halved eggs. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and serve.
