  • preparation 10 minutes
  • cooking 5 minutes
  • difficulty Easy level

Ingredients

  • 100 g sugar snap peas in the pods
  • 100 g rocket leaves
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 250 g stracciatella
  • Sliced sourdough baguette, to serve

Herb oil

  • 2 cups (firmly packed) picked green herbs (basil, mint and parsley)
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed

Instructions

  1. For the herb oil, add the herbs to a saucepan of lightly salted boiling water for 10 - 20 seconds, then drain and place in a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking. When cool, drain the herbs and squeeze out as much water as you can. Transfer the squeezed herbs to a blender, add the oil and garlic and blend until smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes, then strain into a bowl through a fine sieve.
  2. Meanwhile, string the sugar snap peas, split in half, then remove any peas and place in a large bowl with the pods and rocket. Add the olive oil and lemon juice, season with salt and toss gently to combine.
  3. Arrange the stracciatella on a plate, scatter the salad on top, season with pepper and dress with the herb oil. Serve with sliced sourdough baguette.
