- Preparation: 90 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (255 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Dairy-free, Gluten-free
- Contains: beef, egg, mustard
Ingredients
- 70 g Potatoes, waxy
- 20 g Carrot
- 15 g Peas, frozen
- 15 g Egg
- 30 g Cooked beef, cold
- 30 g Apple
- 20 g Gherkins
- 10 g Pickled silverskin onions (zilveruitjes)
- 18 g Mayonnaise
- 0.5 g Salt
- 0.1 g Black pepper
- 10 g Lettuce leaves
- 15 g Tomato
- 1 g Parsley, fresh
Method
- Boil the potatoes in their skins for 20 minutes, until just tender, then peel them. Cook the diced carrot in boiling water for 8 minutes, adding the peas for the last 2 minutes, and drain. Boil the egg for 10 minutes, cool it in cold water and peel it. Leave everything to cool.
- Cut the potatoes, carrot, beef, apple and gherkins into small cubes of about 1 cm. Halve the silverskin onions if they are large. Use beef left over from a stew or a roast; boterhamworst, a Dutch sliced sausage, makes a quicker version.
- Mix the potatoes, carrot, peas, beef, apple, gherkins and onions with the mayonnaise, salt and pepper until everything is coated.
- Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, so the flavours blend.
- Lay the lettuce leaves on a plate, pile the salad on top and smooth it into a mound.
- Garnish with wedges of the egg and the tomato and a little chopped parsley. Serve cold, as a starter, on a buffet or with bread.
