Eggs and New Potatoes with Green Olive Pesto
- 5 eggs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon white or apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup finely diced new potatoes or red potatoes (roughly 3 to 4 potatoes)
- 1/4 cup firmly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 3 anchovy fillets
- 6 green olives (preferably the Cerignola variety), pitted
- 1/4 cup toasted walnuts
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 celery stalk, halved vertically and thinly sliced
- 2 scallions, green and white parts, thinly sliced
- Put the eggs in a saucepan with cold water to cover, 1 teaspoon salt, and the vinegar.
- Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat and simmer, covered, for 1 minute.
- Turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the water, covered, for 15 minutes.
- Drain the eggs and transfer to a bowl of ice water.
- When cool, peel and finely chop the eggs and put them in a large bowl.
- Put the potatoes in a saucepan with cold water to cover and a dash of salt.
- Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat and simmer, covered, until just tender, about 4 minutes.
- Drain and let the potatoes cool.
- Add the potatoes to the eggs.
- Combine the parsley, anchovies, olives, walnuts, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground.
- With the food processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil.
- The pesto should have a coarse texture, so turn off the machine once all of the oil has been poured in to prevent over processing.
- Gently toss the pesto with the eggs and potatoes.
- Fold in the celery and scallions.
- Season with salt and plenty of pepper.
