Ingredients

2 cups (250 g) fresh or frozen broad beans or soybeans
1 generous cup (150 g) frozen peas
Handful mint leaves
Zest of 2 lemons
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 generous cup (250 g) mozzarella or burrata, torn
6 slices Parma ham or pancetta
⅓ cup (50 g) shelled pistachios, toasted + chopped
Salt & pepper

Instructions

Defrost the peas and mix with the beans. If you are using broad beans, be sure to first peel off their coats by covering in boiling water for a few minutes (5-10 if frozen), rinsing in cool water, then shelling.

Pat the mixture dry and add the mint, lemon zest, garlic, some olive oil and seasoning. Arrange on a serving plate with the torn mozzarella or burrata.

Cook the Parma ham or pancetta in a hot oven until very crispy, then crumble it up and scatter it with the pistachios over the top of the salad.
