Method

1. In salted water, with a splash of oil, boil your small pieces of potatoes till tender. Test by piercing though the centre of one with a small knife.

2. Fold your greens through the boiling water and cook, with the spuds, for a min. Drain. Let them rest for a min to steam off any remaining moisture. Dust with a pinch of salt and pepper. Splash a bit of olive oil over to gloss.

3. Fry the pancetta till crisp and golden. Remove from the pan. Add the onion, garlic and a splash of olive oil, if needed. Sizzle till softened.

4. Dress the veg with lemon juice and zest. Add the onion and garlic. Toss with the chopped mint. Taste. Add a drop of vinegar, to give it a bit more oomph. Scatter over the pancetta. Finish with the fresh mint. Devour.
