Broad Beans

mapcr77

The other night we had gorgeous stuffed peppers with broadbeans and peas:

In a bit of oil fry a bit of onion, add the broad beans and peas, season to taste. Add a block of feta cheese (chopped) and mix well.

Roast peppers in the oven, when they're almost done, stuff with cheese and beans mixture and leave in the oven until cheese melts.

We served them with cous cous and they were delicious!

Just got a recipe with my veg box:

Broad bean pate

Fry a chopped onion in olive oil til soft, add 8 oz broad beans (shelled), Juice of one orange, rind of 1 orange and 6 tbsp water.
Cover and simmer gently for 20 mins until beans are tender. Transfer to a blender and add 4 tbsp yoghurt and some fresh mint and process til smooth. Chill before eating.

Haven't tried it yet, but will as I don't really like em just boiled

They did something similar to this on Market Kitchen last week, but used lemon instead of oranges. it looked nice

Cover beans with lightly salted water, simmer for about 40 mins, drain, cool, place in serving dish and sprinkle with a mixture of 2 chopped garlic, parsley to taste and 1 chopped chilli, as hot as you like. Drizzle with oil and vinegar and serve hot or cold...I like it best with some pecorino cheese

Hiya Our local farm shop was selling tubs of broad bean hummous at the weekend - tried a taster of it and it was lovely, but then decided I could make it myself much cheaper. The girl on the deli counter said it had broad beans in (!), parsley, mint, lemon and some olive oil. I guess you could use it as a dip, or in sandwiches?

I've never made homous with anything but chick peas but I imagine you'd put all the ingredients mentioned above ina blender. For every couple hundred grams of cooked broad beans I'd use the juice of a lemon and a tbsp of olive oil, plus a couple of crushed garlic cloves and some springs of parsley. If it's too dry add more lemon juice, if too liquidy add more beans. If you don't have a blender use a potato masher, it will be more chunky than the shop bought stuff with a masher but it will be fine.
