Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat the grill.

2. Grill the pancetta for 4–5 minutes, or until crisp.

3. Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Add the vinegar, then stir the water to create a vortex. Crack 1 egg into the water and poach for 4 minutes, or until the white is cooked and the yolk is runny. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

4. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Blanch the asparagus in the water for 1 minute.

5. Using a mandolin or a vegetable peeler, shave thin ribbons of fennel and place in iced water.

6. Place the asparagus, fennel, poached eggs, pancetta and pea shoots on a large serving dish and drizzle over the Dijon dressing. Serve with slices of sourdough bread.
