Here is a nice recipe you might like: Summer greens with bacon and feta

This stir-fry of pods and beans is so pretty and summery, and if you have mint in the garden, which is growing wild as a jungle – it’s a wonderful way to use some of it.

• 100g fine French beans or sliced runner beans
• 200g mixed, podded peas and broad beans
• 150g lightly smoked bacon, chopped
• 4 tbsp vinaigrette dressing
• 100g baby plum tomatoes, halved
• 100g feta cheese, diced
• Small handful fresh young mint leaves
  (You can replace the feta cheese and mint in the stir-fry with flaked tuna and fresh basil)
• 4 small eggs

Put a large pan of water on to boil. Drop in a few of the mint leaves then add the French beans. Return to the boil and bubble for 2-3 minutes before adding the broad beans and peas. Return to the boil and bubble for a further 5minutes. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and drain well in a colander. Return the water to the boil, drop in the four eggs and immediately take the pan off the heat and set aside. Place a wok over a high heat. As soon as it’s very hot, add the bacon pieces and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are golden and beginning to crisp. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add 2tbsp of vinaigrette to the fat in the pan, let it sizzle, then add all the vegetables with the tomatoes and mint. Stir-fry for 2 minutes then add the feta cheese and remaining vinaigrette dressing. Serve with a poached egg on top.
