About the dish

The book does not state which vegetables to use, so the recipe can be adapted to what is available.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Boil vegetables

    Clean the vegetables and cut them into small round slices. Boil them in boiling, salted water.

  2. 2

    Make dressing

    Mash the anchovy fine. Stir in vinegar, oil, pepper, salt and finely chopped parsley.

  3. 3

    Arrange

    Place the vegetables on a dish with lettuce leaves, each kind separately. Pour the dressing over.

Changes from the original

The book gives no quantities, so they are left open. The order has been rearranged slightly, and the anchovy is taken to be one.
