Poach 3 more eggs. Blanch the Tenderstem broccoli in salted boiling water.

Heat the butter in a pan over a medium heat until brown. Add the lemon juice and remove from the heat.

Place the broccoli in a dish and top with a poached egg, scatter the beans or peas over the dish, drizzle with the burnt butter and season to taste. Garnish with toasted, flaked almonds or macadamias.
