Steps
Steps
- 1Put the eggs in cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for 9 minutes, then cool them in cold water, peel and cut into quarters.
- 2Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the mushrooms with a pinch of salt for 6–7 minutes, until the liquid they release has evaporated and they turn golden. Let them cool.
- 3Cut the tomatoes into chunks, the cucumber into half-moons, the peppers into rings and the onion into thin half-rings.
- 4Put the vegetables in a bowl, season with salt and dress with the remaining oil and the vinegar, tossing gently. Salt only just before serving, or the tomatoes weep and drown the salad.
- 5Scatter the cooled mushrooms over the vegetables — warm mushrooms would wilt them.
- 6Crumble the sirene over the top, arrange the egg quarters around it, sprinkle with parsley and serve at once.
