Ingredients

  • 160 g fresh peas
  • 160 broad beans, shelled
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 2 t fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Method

Blanch the peas and broad beans. Using a fork, gently mash the peas and beans with the olive oil, mint and lemon juice. Season to taste.

To serve, place the peas in a bowl, slice the chicken breasts into pieces and place on top of the peas. Sprinkle with peppercorns and mint.
