Ingredients

  • 250g frozen (or podded fresh) broad beans
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 echalion shallot, finely chopped
  • 55g pack No.1 Hand Carved Jamón Ibérico de Bellota
  • 300ml fresh chicken stock
  • 100g soft goats’ cheese (such as Rosary Ash)
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar glaze
  • ¼ x 25g pack fresh mint, small leaves picked
  • Toasted crusty sourdough, to serve

Method

  1. If using frozen broad beans, bring a pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the beans for 2-3 minutes. Drain, then transfer to a bowl of iced water. Peel off the outer skins, if liked.

  2. Set a large pan over a medium heat, add 2 tbsp oil and heat until sizzling. Add the shallot and sweat for 2 minutes. Add the jamón and cook for 30-40 seconds more. Add the stock and bubble until it becomes thick (about 10-15 minutes). Once it has reduced, stir in the broad beans and season.

  3. Transfer to a serving dish, then crumble over the goats’ cheese and drizzle with the balsamic glaze and the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle over the mint leaves and serve with the toasted sourdough.
