1.Soak the dried morels in 1 cup (250ml) boiling water for 30 minutes. Drain, discarding liquid, and set aside.

2.To clean the artichokes, trim the stalks to 5cm, then remove the tough outer leaves. Once you reach the softer leaves, using a sharp serrated knife, to trim 2-3cm from the top. Cut the artichoke in half lengthways, so you can reach the hairy choke, then scrape it out with a small knife and discard. Quarter artichoke hearts and place in a bowl of cold water combined with 1 tbs lemon juice to prevent them from discolouring. Cook artichoke in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife. Drain and cool slightly, then set aside.

3.Meanwhile, blanch the asparagus in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 3 minutes or until tender. Drain and refresh in cold water. Set aside.

4.Blanch the broad beans in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 2 minutes or until just tender. Drain and refresh in cold water, then squeeze beans from skins. Set aside.

5.Heat the butter and oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Add the morels and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, then add the artichoke, asparagus and broad beans and cook, stirring, for a further 1 minute or until warmed through. Remove from heat, then season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and drizzle with remaining 1 tbs lemon juice to serve.
