Summary

If salads makes you think of some leaves and chopped veggies, think again – this is definitely a proper meal from our innovation and development chef, zoë simons. it's a play on spain's patatas bravas, but the butter beans make it a little lighter in texture.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190ºC, gas mark 5. Slice the baby potatoes to the thickness of a £1 pound coin. Put them on a large baking tray, toss with 3 tbsp oil and season with salt. Ensure they have plenty of space to roast.

Step 2

Deseed the red peppers, then cut into strips. Cut the onion into small wedges, put onto a separate baking tray, then toss with the remaining 1 tbsp oil and season with salt. Roast the potatoes and vegetables for 45-50 minutes, with the potatoes on the shelf above the vegetables. Swap the trays over for the final 15 minutes, until the potatoes are crisp, golden and cooked through and the peppers and onions are softened and charred in places.

Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice and garlic in a food processor and mix for 1 minute. Slowly add the oil while the processor is running to make an emulsified aïoli. Add the saffron water, then process until the aïoli turns a vibrant yellow. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt.

To assemble the salad, spread a generous amount of aïoli onto a large sharing serving plate, and use the back of a spoon in a circular motion to create a base.
