Method

  1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then add the broad beans and peas and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain, refresh under cold water until completely cool, then slip the broad beans out of their skins. Pat dry, then set aside.
  2. Heat a frying pan and, when hot, add the ham slices. Cook for a few minutes on each side until crisp (see tip). Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper and leave to harden, then crumble into a bowl. Toss with the pistachios, then set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the beans and peas with the lettuce/pea shoots, mint leaves and lemon zest. Drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, season, then divide among 4 plates. Add half a mozzarella ball to each, scatter the crumble over and drizzle with more oil. Season, then serve.

  1. Make sure the ham is crisp before taking it off the heat, otherwise it won’t crumble.
