  • Tip

    Double podding

    Broad beans have a long, slightly furry pod, and each bean has a leathery, greyish skin. Removing both is called double podding.

Method

  1. Simmer the broad beans for 4 minutes, drain, cool and peel off the grey skins. Mix with the lemon zest, juice and mint and add a good slug of oil. season.
  2. Put the mozzarella in the centre of a plate, spoon the beans around and drizzle some of the dressing over the cheese.

My husband and I thought this was delicious, a lovely light supper or lunch. It was very refreshing and made a nice change to eat broad beans this was.
