How to cook deliciously - Pea & burrata salad with preserved lemon salsa
1. Stage
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the broad beans for 2-3 mins, then drain and plunge immediately into a bowl of ice cold water. Once cool, use your nail to pierce the skin, then squeeze the bright green beans out of their shells into a bowl.
2. Stage
Bring another pan of water to the boil and cook the peas with the mint sprig for a couple of mins, then drain and mix with the beans. Stir through the spring onion whites, season to taste and set aside. Tip the peas and beans onto a serving platter and top with the whole burrata balls.
3. Stage
To make the salsa, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, preserved lemon and a good pinch of salt and pepper until well emulsified. Stir through the sugar snaps or mangetout, spring onion greens, chilli and sliced mint, then spoon over the burrata.
4. Stage
Scatter over the pea shoots and garnish with the extra mint leaves. Put in the centre of the table and let everyone help themselves – the burrata will dress the peas with its creaminess and the dressing will cut through the richness.
