Method
Salad
Place a medium-sized pot over a medium heat, place the eggs into the pot and fill to cover the eggs approximately three quarters. Bring to a boil and cook for approximately 5 minutes, then remove and then place in a bowl of cold water to cool down. Once sufficiently cooled, peel the eggs and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized frying pan and fry the basil leaves for 20 seconds on each side, remove and set aside.
Dressing
Chop the coriander and basil in a food processor, add the capers, anchovy fillets, crushed garlic, mustard and lemon juice.
While the motor is running, drizzle in the olive oil to make a thickish dressing.
To Assemble
Arrange all the salad ingredients on a platter, drizzle with the dressing and serve.
