Put the lime leaves in a spice grinder and blitz to a fine powder (or chop them as finely as you can).
Transfer to the small bowl of a food processor (and add the ground lime if you have), the lime zest, two-thirds of the coriander, the mint, garlic, oil, one of the chopped chillies and half a teaspoon of salt. Blitz to a smooth paste.
Bring a medium pan of salted water to a boil and add the french beans. Blanch for four minutes, then use a slotted spoon to transfer to a colander while keeping the water on the boil.
Refresh the beans, shake dry and transfer to a large bowl.
Add the beans and peas to the boiling water, blanch for a minute, then drain, refresh and add to the bowl.
Spoon the lime paste over the beans, pour over the lime juice, and stir to coat.
Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and the remaining coriander and chilli, and serve at once.
