When cool, break into dipping chards.

2. Heat oil in a non-stick fry pan and sauté onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add butter beans and artichoke hearts and cook for a further 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a food processor and blend for 30-40 seconds until smooth. Add avocado, lemon juice, zest, cayenne and season to taste with freshly ground pepper and salt. Place in a bowl, cover and chill until ready to use.

3. To serve, spoon dip onto a serving plate spreading in a circular motion to form spiral indentations. Drizzle with extra olive oil and garnish with thinly sliced radish, lemon zest and micro herbs. Serve with the sesame crisps.
