Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

200g pack small button mushroom , finely sliced
juice 1 lemon
200g green bean , trimmed
handful soft green herbs , such as basil, chervil, parsley and tarragon
100g cherry tomato , quartered
3 tbsp olive oil
75g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), shaved into large curls

Steps:

  • In a bowl, toss mushrooms with half the lemon juice and set aside - the lemon juice will soften the mushrooms. Blanch the beans in boiling salted water for 5-6 mins until they still have a crunch, but they are not squeaky, then drain and cool in iced water.
  • Toss the beans and mushrooms together in a bowl with the herbs and season with salt and pepper. Toss through the tomatoes, remaining lemon juice and the olive oil and scatter with Parmesan just before serving.
