Ingredients

  • 400g frozen broad beans
  • handful of mint , leaves picked
  • 3 tbsp plain yogurt (any kind)
  • 1 lemon , ½ juiced, ½ cut into wedges, to serve
  • 4 flatbreads (toasted, if you like)
  • 4 tbsp crispy onions or toasted mixed seeds
  • 200g block feta , drained
  • ½ lemon , zest pared
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp nigella seeds
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Cut the feta into cubes. Tip into a container or small bowl, add the remaining ingredients and leave to marinate. Will keep for a week in the fridge submerged in oil.

  2. Tip the beans into a heatproof bowl, boil the kettle, then pour some boiling water over the beans. Leave for 3 mins until softened, then drain well. Tip into a food processor with the mint, yogurt and lemon juice. Season and pulse briefly to make a chunky paste.

  3. Divide the broad bean crush between the flatbreads and smooth over. Top with the feta and a drizzle of the marinade. Top with the crispy onions or toasted seeds. Serve with the lemon wedges for squeezing over.
