Ingredients

  • 200g Frozen Garden Peas
  • 100g Frozen Edamame, shelled.
  • 100g Frozen Broad Beans
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • small handful of fresh dill, finely chopped
  • large handful of rocket leaves
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add the oil to a large pan on a medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook to caramelise - around 15 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Boil the frozen broad beans for 5 minutes, drain and when cooled enough to handle, peel off the white outer skin and discard, keeping the green bean.
  3. If using edamame in pods you will have to do a similar process and will want to use twice the weight listed above to account for the pod weight.
  4. Add the frozen peas and shelled edamame to the pan with the onion and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the broad beans, stir to combine, add any desired seasonings.
  6. Serve warm with chopped dill and rocket leaves roughly tossed through.

Notes

  • So, I love this salad... my husband very unexpectedly loved this salad, so it's a real winner.
  • I make a double batch... 1) because I know we will eat it, 2) Because its still really good a couple of days later, and 3) Thats the size of the broad beans packets and the amount of rocket and dill i can easily buy... laziness.
  • I first served this as an accompaniment to my vegan lasagna... i just needed something green. Packed up the rest for weekday lunches... many compliments.
  • This salad is very filling and broad beans can be hard to find, but the proteins are complete and it is nutritious.
  • I was cooking this for my no onion, no capsicum, occasionally no garlic family... so I subbed out the red onion for white cabbage (its what i had), it worked really well, less colourful, but would definitely do again, red cabbage if possible for colour.
