Ingredients
Method
Place the chopped shallot, oil and vinegar into a bowl, whisk well and season with salt & pepper to make a dressing.
Mix the shelled peas & broad beans with half of the marjoram leaves and combine with half of the dressing. Divide evenly between four bowls, flattening the mound slightly in the middle.
Place a large spoon of ricotta on top of each mound of peas and broad beans. Sprinkle the pine nuts & the remainder of the dressing on top of the ricotta. To finish, garnish the dish with the remainder of the marjoram leaves & a little grated lemon zest, salt & ground pepper.
