Ways To Use Green Broad Beans

Friday, December 05, 2008
If you live in Australia, green broad beans are in season right now. Great fibre source: 100g will give you 8g of fibre. Here are some ways to use them.

  • - remove the beans from their green pods.
  • - put the pods in salted boiling water and simmer for half an hour or so, until the beans are soft (test them)
  • - drain

Ways to use them:
  • - keep a small tub of cooked beans in the fridge for a day or two, use as a 'nibbly' when you get the urge for food but its not time to eat.
  • - sprinkle a handful through your salad
  • - serve topped with a rich home made tomato sauce as a side vegetable

Has anyone else got any suggestions for how to use these delicious beans?
