About

An Bord Glas, now Bord Bia, provided this recipe to which I have added fresh coriander leaves. Coriander does not respond very well, for me at any rate, to the Irish climate, but it does make an attempt at growing and the leaves are even more precious because of their scarcity.

Method

Clean the potatoes and boil or steam until just tender. While they are cooking, put all the other ingredients except the coriander leaves into a pan and simmer for 15 minutes.

Cut the potatoes into pieces if they are not very small and put them into a bowl. Pour over the dressing while both are still hot. Leave to cool and serve, sprinkling with the coriander leaves.
