Ingredients
Method
PLACE ALL THE INGREDIENTS ON A BOWL AND MIX WITH A LITTLE DRESSING.
THIS IS TO BE DRESSED WHEN THE TABLE IS CALLED AWATY ONLY .
IF NOT THE LETTUCE WILL BE LIMP AND THE SALAD WILL NOT LOOK FRESH.
COOKING THE QUAILS EGGS.
GET A TEFLON PAN AND BRUSH WITH A LITTLE OIL.
PLACE 15-20 EGGS IN IT AS ITS COLD UNTIL THE PAN IS COMPLETLY COVER IN EGGS.
PLACE ON THE STOVE AND COOK UNTIL THE WHITES ARE FIRM.
WHEN COOLED A LITTLE TURN OUT ONTO A CHOPPING BOARD AND CUT OUT WITH THE CORRECT CUTTERS.
PLACE IN AN OILED BOWL COVERED IN CLING FILM.
WE USE A BOWL SO AS THE CLING WRAP DOESNT HIT THE EGG YOLKS.
