Edward Daniel I adore this Avocado Pea Fine Bean Salad dish. I have actually re-tweaked it since it first introduced it on this site –… Recipes Avocado Pea Fine Bean Salad European #

Ingredients

½ onion, shredded
3tbs extra virgin olive oil
4 gloves of garlic, sliced finely
200g fresh garden peas from pod
200g green beans
1 chilli (optional)
1 avocado
½ lime, freshly squeezed
3 to 4 mint leaves, finely chopped

Instructions

In a frying pan, sauté the shredded onion in a teaspoon of olive oil until the onion start to brown and then remove from the heat. Set to one side.
Top tip – I don’t want to flavour the salad with the onion other than to garnish.
In a saucepan, fry the garlic in the remaining oil until the garlic turns brown.
Add the garden peas and fine beans and cook for a couple of minutes. If you decide to add the optional chilli then add for a couple of more minutes of further cooking.
Switch off the heat and combine in the avocado, lime juice and chopped mint (leaving a few to one side to garnish).
Just before serving garnish with the onion and mint leaves.
