All the flavours of summer in one starter. Blanching the veg and plunging into an ice bath will ensure a vivid green colour on the beans and peas. Let the burrata come to room temperature before plating the dish.

100 g frozen peas

200 g runner beans, sliced and cut into 3cm strips

2 ripe peaches, each cut into 6 wedges

4 x 100 g burrata (or 2 large, halved)

10 basil leaves

Pesto

1 clove garlic

70 g unsalted pistachio kernels

20 g fresh basil

80 g extra virgin olive oil

50 g parmesan, finely grated

1 tbsp lemon juice

Start with making the pesto. Put all the ingredients apart from the lemon in a food processor. Pulse a few times until you have a paste. Check seasoning and add lemon juice a little at a time to taste. Put in a bowl, drizzle the top with a little more olive oil and set aside until needed.

Prepare a bowl with ice and cold water (ice bath)

Blanch the runner beans in boiling salted water for 5 minutes adding the peas for the last minute. Drain and plunge into ice bath.

Drain beans and peas out of ice water into a bowl, Gently toss with 2 tbsp of the pesto. Tear the basil leaves into the greens reserving a few to finish.

To plate the dish, divide the vegetables between 4 plates, place a burrata in the middle. arrange segments of peach around the plates. Dab more pesto on the salad and cheese.
