A broad bean recipe

[Chief Broom]

I ad lib quite a lot with cooking and make a meal with whatever i have or havent got. Anyhow tuther day i was overdue a shopping trip but had loads of broad beans from the garden.....so put a mugful or so to simmer while i fried some quorn sausages chopped into bite size pieces. Added a chopped onion and two chillies to the pan. When everything was nicely fried poured a cup of water in and added veggie gravy granules, drained the cooked broad beans and in the pan they went with a knob of butter/pepper/salt. A good stir and served in a bowl and eaten with a good whole meal bread.
Broad beans can be difficult to amalgamate/harmonise in a meal but this simple recipe worked very well and was very tasty!

I love broad beans. Only ever had them boiled with a roast dinner. My mum used to make a delicious broad bean chutney

Boil em in salted water then serve with a Roast Chicken and all the gubbins with plenty of Gravy.

I’d disagree. We are having them about 4 meals/ week just now. Usually steamed for 5 minutes and served as a veg with whatever else we are eating. I love them, just finished eating first sowing and starting on second sowing tomorrow. 😀

I haven't had broad beans out of the garden since I was a kid, but there are always BBs in the freezer as they're one of my favourites.

I like to eat them raw straight from the plant.
You can make a nice hummus with them too.

Par boil and squeeze them out of the outer skin.

Then warm the bright green inner beans with some olive oil, lemon juice, mint leaves and seasoning. Crush lightly and serve on hot sourdough toast rubbed with a bit of garlic.

A bit of crumbled cheese of some sort can also be added.

Put a pan of water on to boil, when it comes to boil, put some peas into the water and simmer for 4 or 5 minutes.

Whilst simmering chuck the broad beans on the compost heap.

Similar combination to a warm salad we sometimes make up.
Par boil and squeeze the beans, add to cooked bulgar wheat and steamed French beans, add chopped flat leaf parsley and a few mint leaves. Mix up with some olive oil and lemon juice and top with crumbled feta cheese

Once double skinned, they go nicely as a last minute addition to a rissotto

Nah. Here, they inhabit the same niche as Amblongus Pie.

You can all have my share.
