Chorizo & soft-boiled egg salad

Method4 steps

1. 1

   Step 1: Wash the potatoes and trim the beans (225g). Start boiling the potatoes in salted water. At minute six add all four pasteurized shell eggs, and at minute ten add the beans. At minute twelve lift out the eggs and beans with a slotted spoon; the eggs have cooked for six minutes and the beans for two. Cool the eggs under cold running water. Drain the potatoes when tender, continuing to boil them separately if they need longer than twelve minutes. Keep the drained potatoes and beans together for the salad.
