Method

  1. Boil the broad beans and peas together for three minutes, drain, cool under the tap and pop the broad beans out of their skins.

  2. Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan until they start to pop.

  3. Whisk the oil, lemon and salt and toss the beans, peas, sliced radish and torn lettuce in it.

  4. Crumble the feta over and finish with the mint and seeds.

Worth knowing

  • Feta and pumpkin seeds are the protein and most of the fat. Without meat it lands at 22 g of protein, which is on the low side for a lunch, so a boiled egg or a slice of sourdough alongside is reasonable.
  • Frozen broad beans are fine. The season for fresh ones is about three weeks and the frozen ones are picked in it.
