Essential Tools

·      Chef knives

·      Chopping board

·      Frying pan x 2

·      Saucepan

·      Ice water bath

·      BBQ or grill pan

·      Large mixing bowl

·      Tongs

·      Weighing/measuring utensils

Tips/Tricks

·      I add plenty of salt and a lemon wedge to my boiling water for the eggs. Once cooked, strain and add to the iced bath immediately. Once cool the eggs should de-shell easily

·      If you don’t have a BBQ you can either roast the broccolini in the oven or fry in a grill pan – if using a grill pan it’s best to par boil them first

·      Add ½ the dressing to start and adjust to taste OR serve the remainder of the dressing on the side for guests to add later

·      The salad can also be served cold so the broccolini can be prepared in advance too
