I usually use tinned broad beans to recreate the Georgian snack Lobio. My simple version is just heated up, smished with a spoon and add lots of chopped parsly and corriander, salt and pepper.

Wow! theyre some complicated recipes here from master chefs i would like to try them but dont have the patience to peel broad beans.....who said life's to short to stuff a mushroom!

Peeling them is actually rather therapeutic - just pinch a hole in the skin and then they pop out quite agreeably when squeezed.

I'm too stingy to throw away the skin. It's fine as long as the beans aren't too old.
Grew dwarf broad beans sucessfully for the first time this year, ate up the last of them last night parboiled then chucked into a stir fry.

Broad beans are my favourite vegetable to grow. Apart from being dead hardy and reliable, you can eat them when young whilst still in their pods (like mangetout), then, when you snip the tops off to help combat blackfly, use the tops like spinach. Let the beans grow a bit bigger for the best taste and finally, when they are past their best whizz them up into a sort of dip. I've never peeled broad beans, never felt the need to.
