Sprinkle the bread with water and leave to soften for 15 minutes. Squeeze out the water, roughly chop the bread, put into a bowl and sprinkle with half the vinegar. Add the tarragon, anchovy and capers. Add ¼ cup olive oil and add extra vinegar and oil if necessary to keep the salsa loose in consistenc­y. Crumble the egg yolks into the mix and fold them through. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

or pre-poached, roughly torn)

Boil the potatoes in salted water until just tender. Drain and sprinkle with the vinegar and extra virgin olive oil and allow to cool down to room temperatur­e. Combine with the radishes, cucumber and chicken and then dress with the salsa to serve.
