Fill a pan with water and bring it to the boil. Trim any dry ends off the purple sprouting broccoli. Roughly chop the broccoli into small pieces. Strip the kale leaves off their stalks and roughly shred them. Trim the courgette, and use a vegetable peeler to shave the courgette into ribbons, finely chopping the seeded core when you’ve peeled down to it. Halve the chilli, flicking out the seeds and pith for less heat. Finely chop the chilli. Rinse and finely chop the three-cornered leeks. Pick the mint leaves.
