Step 1:

Fill the pot and heat to boil

Add enough water to the tall pot to fill it 3/4 of the way. Place it on a high heat and add some salt and the dark vinegar. While waiting for the water to boil carry on with the other preparations.

---

Step 2:

Preheat the oven

Set the oven to a low 75ºC (165ºF/ half a gas mark).

---

Step 3:

Make the dressing

Add the mustard, white wine vinegar, olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Whisk thoroughly and set aside.

---

Step 4:

Cut the bacon

Slice each rasher of bacon in half.

---

Step 5:

Cut the black pudding

Chop the black pudding into four sections. Holding lengthways cut the sections into long quarter strips.

---

Step 6:

Fry the bacon

Place the frying pan onto a high heat and fry the bacon, turning occasionally. When cooked, take it out and drain on some kitchen paper to get rid of excess fat.

---

Step 7:

Fry the black pudding

Using the same pan, add the black pudding and cook for a few minutes, again turning occasionally with your tongs. Drain on kitchen paper.

---

Step 8:

Place in the oven

Place the bacon and black pudding into the preheated oven to keep them warm.

---

Step 9:

Prepare the eggs

Gently break 1 egg into each of the 4 small bowls.

VIDEOJUG TIP

Putting the eggs into the bowls makes it easier to put them into the water easier and prevents breakages.

---

Step 10:

Poach the eggs

Turn the heat down to a simmer and taking the slotted spoon, swirl, anti clockwise to create a vortex. Place all the eggs very carefully into the swirling water. Allow them to cook for 2-3 minutes.

---

Step 11:

Remove the eggs

Take the eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon and place on a plate with a piece of kitchen roll to drain.

---

Step 12:

Mix the rocket with the dressing

Add the rocket to the bowl with the dressing and toss to mix together.

---

Step 13:

Serve

For each portion, take a serving plate and place some dressed rocket in the centre. Then put some bacon and black pudding on top and a heap on some more rocket, bacon and black pudding. Finally place a poached egg on top.
