INGREDIENTS

baby kipfler potatoes,
500g, halved, scrubbed
fresh peas, 300g, shelled (see tip)
sugar snap peas, 150g, trimmed
snow-pea shoots, 1 cup
avocado, 1, seeded, peeled, sliced
eschalot, 1, finely sliced
shaved parmesan, to serve
DRESSING
mixed herbs, chopped, 1½ cups (chives, chervil, mint)
extra-virgin olive oil, ¼ cup
rock salt, ½ teaspoon
red-wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon
METHOD

  1. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil on high and cook 8-10 minutes, until tender. Drain well.

  2. Blanch peas 1 minute, adding sugar snaps for last 20 seconds. Drain and refresh in iced water. Drain well.

  3. DRESSING: In a mortar and pestle, pound herbs together with 1 tablespoon oil and salt. Stir in remaining oil, vinegar and a grinding of black pepper.

  4. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, peas, sugar snaps, shoots, avocado and eschalot. Pour over half dressing, gently tossing to combine. Top with shaved parmesan and serve with remaining dressing.


TOP TIP
  • If you can’t find fresh peas, use frozen peas. Use about ¾ cup and blanch as for fresh.
  • Use a small food processor or hand blender for the dressing, if preferred.

User comments
We tried this the other night - it was delicious! My husband is a diabetic so I put the new low GI potatoes into it instead of kipflers.It was a perfect side for grilled lamb.
