This Monday I went to my local Food Assembly to pick up all of my lovely fresh meat, vegetables and eggs, I decided to try some of the Lemon Balm from Rhone Cottage, https://www.facebook.com/Rhone-Cottage-1532484203665299/ . Looking at what I could use it with I decided a lovely healthy tuna bean salad and the lemon balm leaves just added that lovely flavour of lemon, it was very fragrant and gave that extra zing.
Serves 2 Approx 350 calories per serving.

Handful of fresh garden peas
1 tbsp red chilli pepper flakes (optional)
1 tbsp Olive oil

- Heat through the black eyed beans, approx 4-5 mins on medium heat, remove and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, mix everything else in a large mixing bowl making sure everything is coated.
- Add the black eyed beans, mix through and then serve with a sprinkle of the lemon balm on top. Yummy!
