Add the quail eggs to boiling salted water and cook for 21/2 - 3 minutes, then refresh under cold water and remove the shells. Add Serrano ham, torn into strips, if you like.

Method

1. Add the potatoes to a pan of boiling salted water and simmer for 15-20 mins, until almost tender. Add the asparagus to the pan for 2 mins. Take the spears out and refresh them under cold water. Drain the potatoes and leave them in the colander for 5 mins.
2. Halve the potatoes as you put them in a bowl, then squash them gently with a fork. Shake the oil, lemon zest and juice in a jar. Pour about half of the dressing over the potatoes, mix in with the spring onion and season well.
3. Arrange the asparagus on plates. Pile the potato mixture on top. Sprinkle the peas over, then add the egg halves and pea shoots. Scatter mustard and cress around the edge of the plate and drizzle with more dressing.
