Broad Bean Recipes

[di]

Hey! Sort out your quotes, man !

Yes, it freezes just fine. Any water, just pour it off (I always freeze store-bought hummous, even though the packs say not to. I'm just a rebel, me)

have a kitchen full of broad bean glut!!got tad bit carried away in desperation to do something with them at this late hour before they wilted to inedibility(won't bother on a spell check as don't think it's a word!).wish me luck tomorrow when I pop a tub of it in Daisy's lunchbox instead of the normal hummous!d'ya think she'll notice?!

Well, it'll be lurid green instead of beige ~ yeah, I think she'll notice! Just call it Snot Hummous, and she'll think it's cool.

Broad Bean "hummous"

400g broad beans (podded weight), simmered until tender & skinned if necessary
1 fat garlic clove, crushed
3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice


Blitz everything in a blender. Add more oil if the purée seems too thick and dry. Add salt, pepper and lemon juice, as needed.
