Method

Add the eggs to a pan of cold water, bring to the boil then cook for 8 mins. Remove from the pan and immerse in cold water to stop the cooking process. Cool, then peel and chop.
Steam the asparagus for 3-5 mins, until tender. Add the peas for the last 2-3 mins. Remove from the heat, immerse in cold water, then drain.
To make the dressing, whisk the vinegar and oil in a bowl. Add the anchovies, season, then whisk again. Lay the asparagus on a serving plate and scatter over the peas, egg and parsley. Drizzle over the dressing.
