method
Shell the beans and pod the peas. If they are not quite tender enough to eat raw, put them in a pan of boiling salted water for a minute, then refresh in cold water.
Clean the artichokes, cut each into 6 and cook in boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and refresh.
Make the dressing by blending the oil and lemon juice and adding chopped mint and seasoning to taste.
Toss the vegetables in the dressing and garnish with a few sprigs of mint. Serve with good crusty bread.
Variation Use drained, canned artichoke hearts instead of the jerusualem artichokes. There is no need to cook them.
