Ingredients

  • 1 Pinch Black Pepper Freshly Ground
  • 4 Large Centra Free Range Eggs
  • 2 Centra Lemon
  • 1 tbsp Centra Olive Oil
  • 240 g Centra Smoked Salmon
  • 4 Lettuce Leaves
  • 1 Pinch salt

Method

  1. Half-fill a medium-large saucepan with water, season generously with salt and bring to the boil.
  2. Tear off 8 sheets of good- quality cling film, each roughly 40cm square. Get yourself 4 small bowls or ramekins and rub the rims with olive oil. Place a double layer of cling film on top of each one and carefully push it in so that it lines the bowls evenly. Use your finger to lightly oil the inside – which will help your egg come out easily at the end. Put a tiny pinch of salt and pepper into each cup.
  3. Carefully crack the egg into the cling film, and then gently push the yolk down so the egg white surrounds it (without it breaking). Bring the cling film up into a bundle, then tie it in a knot and try to squeeze the knot down so it creates a perfect pouch and seals it.
  4. Once the water is boiling, remove the bowl and place your eggs in the water. It takes between 5 and 6 minutes at a gentle simmer for a large egg.
  5. Meanwhile, arrange 2 pieces of smoked salmon on each plate. Check one of your eggs after 5 minutes. If it still seems undercooked, put it back in for another minute or so.
  6. Divide the salad onto each plate. Cut off the cling film knots with a pair of scissors, peel away the rest, then carefully lift the eggs with a spoon and serve them right on top of your salad and smoked salmon. Serve with wedges of lemon on the side.

Centra leads the way introducing 100% compostable coffee cups.

Written by

Frank and Honest are delighted to announce its commitment to become the first national coffee brand to move to 100% Compostable Coffee Cups.

Frank and Honest, available in selected SuperValu, Centra and Mace stores, will replace all non-recyclable single-use coffee cups with a new compostable cup and lid from September this year. This new initiative has the potential to divert millions of coffee cups from landfill annually.

The new compostable cups and lids can be organically recycled in the brown food waste bin and commercially composted locally, typically in a matter of weeks.

Fergal O’Kane, Musgrave, said: “Frank and Honest has a national geographical footprint with 630 locations across the island of Ireland, so this new initiative will help move towards a more sustainable Northern Ireland.

“Last month, Musgrave and our SuperValu and Centra brands, were named ‘Green Retailer of the Year’ for the development of our ambitious new three-year sustainability strategy.  So, by offering customers only compostable Frank and Honest cups, we are further building on our commitment to sustainability and improving the planet.”

Local business owner and passionate recycler, Nicola Bryce-Ward, said: “As a business owner, I realise how important recycling and composting is and I always encourage people at the gyms I own to be mindful of the planet and how our choices can adversely affect it.  To hear that a huge brand like Frank and Honest is doing the same thing is admirable and I would like to applaud them for their incredible move to offering only compostable cups to its customers.  It will certainly encourage me to drink only Frank and Honest and I will be telling all of my customers to do the same!”

The certified compostable coffee cups will be made from plant-based materials. After use, they can go in the brown bin and will biodegrade with food waste in under 12 weeks, creating nutrient-rich compost to feed Northern Ireland soils.
