Ingredients

• 500g tomatoes (If you can, use a mix of sizes and colours)
• 1⁄2 tsp caster sugar
• 150g broad beans , podded
• handful basil
• handful chives
• handful flat leaf parsley
• 1 tbsp tarragon
• 1 tbsp mint leaves
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• pinch of fennel seeds
• 1 lemon , zested
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 x 100g burrata or 2 x 125g balls mozzarella
• 50g hazelnuts , toasted and roughly chopped

Method

• STEP 1 Chop the tomatoes into a mixture of slices and wedges, then put them in a bowl. Toss with 1/2 tsp salt and the sugar, then leave to marinate for 30 mins. Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to the boil and add the broad beans. Boil for 2 mins, then drain and allow to cool for a couple of mins. Peel them out of their shells. This is fiddly but well worth it – use your thumbnail to pierce the skin, then gently squeeze out the shiny green beans.
• STEP 2 Finely chop the herbs, then tip into a bowl and whisk in the olive oil, mustard, fennel seeds, most of the lemon zest, and red wine vinegar. Season, then stir in the broad beans.
• STEP 3 Tip the tomatoes onto a serving platter. Top with the burrata, then spoon over the broad bean salsa. Scatter over the hazelnuts and remaining lemon zest to serve.
