Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 200g frozen peas
- 50g fetta
- Handful mint leaves. finely chopped
- 1/2 shallot, finely chopped
- Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped, to serve
Method
- Place eggs in a pot of boiling water. If using eggs straight from the fridge, place them in a saucepan filled with cold tap water on the stove, and bring the water to boil. Start the timer when the water begins to boil and set for 4mins for a soft-boiled "jammy" yolk. Remove eggs from the pot and place under cold running water to stop the eggs from cooking and make them easier to peel.
- While eggs are boiling, place the peas in a separate saucepan in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, drain.
- Place peas in a bowl, and add fetta, mint, shallots, lemon juice and zest, and olive oil to a bowl and mash with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the smashed peas mixture between two plates and make a divet/indent in the middle with the back of a spoon so it looks like a nest. Cut the boiled egg in half and place in the divet. Top with fresh parsley leaves. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and lemon juice, if desired.
