600G FRESH OR FROZEN BROAD (FAVA) BEANS
1 ½ CUP CHOPPED MINT LEAVES
200G MARINATED FETA, CRUMBLED
1 CLOVE GARLIC, CRUSHED
¼ CUP (20G) FINELY GRATED PARMESAN
2 TABLESPOONS WHITE BALSAMIC VINEGAR+
¼ CUP (60ML) OLIVE OIL
SEA SALT AND CRACKED BLACK PEPPER
TURKISH BREAD, CHAR-GRILLED, TO SERVE

Directions

Cook the broad beans in boiling water for 3–5 minutes or until tender. Peel and roughly chop. Place in a bowl with the mint, feta, garlic, parmesan, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper, lightly crush with a spoon and mix well to combine. Serve with char-grilled Turkish bread. Makes 2 cups. + White balsamic vinegar is made from the same grape variety as regular balsamic, but is paler, thinner and less sweet. It is often used to avoid the discolouration the dark variety causes.

There is nothing quite like holding fruit and veg that fizz with life after they’ve been harvested and hold on to that energy for days after. It brings us joy to work with such ingredients, that we know is grown with such love and care.
