Why not take advantage of the broad bean season by making this simple but tasty salad with a lemony twist. Just right for adding to your hamper and heading off for a picnic!
Some of the ingredients in the recipe are available from our just so ITALIAN online deli. Where this is the case we have linked them so you just need to click on the name of the ingredient to take you straight to the shop.
300g broad beans, fresh if possible but if not use frozen
3 tomatoes
120g Pecorino Vinacce, cut into 1cm cubes
salt & pepper
• Bring a small pan of salted water to the boil and add the broad beans.
• Cook the beans for about 2 minutes, or until tender, then run under cold water. Gently remove the outer pods and put the beans into a large bowl.
• Add the olives, tomatoes cut into pieces and the cubed cheese.
• Drizzle over the lemon olive oil and season with salt & pepper to taste.
Either serve immediately with some warm crusty bread or if the weather’s nice why not allow it to cool, pack it in your hamper and head off for that well deserved picnic….
