Tuna Melt

Tuna, Asparagus and Potato Salad, with a perfect Poached Egg

Serves: 2         Preparation time: 10 minutes         Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

400g new potatoes, scrubbed and halved
150g asparagus spears, cut into thirds
80g mixed salad leaves (spinach, watercress and rocket)
2 x 160g cans Princes Tuna Chunks in Spring Water, drained
2 medium eggs

Dressing:
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Pinch of salt, pepper and sugar, to taste

Let's Get Going

1. Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Boil the new potatoes for 18 minutes, adding the asparagus to the boiling water 4 minutes before the potatoes are done. Drain and set aside.

2. Place the salad leaves on the plates, top with the cooked new potatoes and asparagus, then top with the tuna.

3. Whisk together all the dressing ingredients, season to taste and spoon over the salads.

4. Bring another saucepan of water to the boil, then lower the temperature to a steady simmer. Stir the water around with a spoon, and crack in the eggs one at a time. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes for a perfect poach.

5. Top the salads with the drained poached eggs and serve, sprinkled with black pepper.
