Broad bean delight

I love broad beans. The shape, the smell, the colour, the fluffy pods, the taste. 

I want to eat broad beans all day long. 

But failing that we’ve had a successful crop this year. So there’s been plenty. 

I decided to make a yummy spread out of them today. 

  
I steamed them for a few minutes. 

  
Then I added some garlic that if lightly fried in oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. 

In the blitzer. 

Straight onto some toast. 

 
I ate it with some fried round courgette sections. 

It was delicious. 

We had a lot of beans so we’ve frozen some and saved it for later. 

Some people call it houmous. I’m not sure what it should be called but it was delicious.
