Take the burrata out of the fridge and drain 20 minutes before serving. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and add the broad beans. Simmer for 3-4 minutes (or 5-6 minutes if frozen), then drain and rinse under cold water. Double pod the beans if liked, then set aside.

Heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Cut the little gem into quarters and brush lightly with a little of the oil. Season and add to the pan, then fry the wedges on each cut side until golden and a little wilted (about 2 minutes); set aside. Meanwhile, mix the remaining oil with ½ of the lemon zest and all of the juice; season.

Arrange the burrata, broad beans and little gem on a serving plate or divide between individual plates, if you prefer. Spoon over the dressing and season. Scatter with the shredded mint and the remaining lemon zest.

This is one of my favourite ways to use up a jar of chocolate sauce and create something that tastes far more impressive than it actually is. The magic happens when dark chocolate meets a hint of smoky chilli and the irresistible crunch of salted pretzels, all wrapped up in a simple sponge. Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants, so you can feel a little virtuous with each bite. What I love most is that this comes together in just 15 minutes of prep and 40 minutes in the oven, making it perfect for when friends drop by unexpectedly. It's basically a one bowl wonder that never fails to impress.

It's simple, it's delicious, and honestly, it feels like you're treating yourself to something fancy.
