Make Something Tells Me We Haven't Said Farewell to Summer....Yet!
This simple mozzarella salad recipe features creamy buffalo mozzarella, lovely fresh peas and broad beans for a wonderfully summery dish. The mint and lemon are spectacular together in adding further freshness to this verdant salad – a summer treat that is as just delicious when the calendar says Autumn, but the thermometer says 85!
Buffalo Mozzarella with Peas, Broad Beans, Mint, Lemon and Olive Oil
Ingredients
4 buffalo mozzarella balls
8 oz. of fresh peas
8 oz. of broad bean pods
1 handful of fresh mint
4 oz. of pea shoots
1 lemon for juice
olive oil
salt
pepper
1 lemon for garnish
Directions
Drain the mozzarella balls from their liquid and place on a tray. Cover in cling film and allow to come up to room temperature – this allows the cheese to soften and brings out the delicate flavor of the mozzarella.
Drop the broad beans into a pan of boiling water. After a minute, add the peas and allow to cook for another minute. Strain the beans and peas and immediately refresh in iced water for 5 minutes. Pop all of the broad beans out of their skins using the tip of a small knife and remove the little white germ, which can have a bitter flavor.
Mix the broad beans and peas together with the mint and pea shoots. Add the juice of one lemon to taste and add a few drops of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To plate, tear each mozzarella ball in half and season lightly. Divide piles of the broad beans, peas and pea shoots between four plates and top with the mozzarella. Finish with another spoonful of the peas and beans, some olive oil and a little more lemon juice. Garnish with the lemon wedges and serve.
