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.

Looks good! I never got enough when I was growing them to do much with them but loved the flavor.

I think the dish is called something like foul medame in Egypt. I love it too but didn’t have enough broad beans this year 😦

I get the old broad beans and put them in the microwave and they pop like popcorn and taste a lot like chestnuts, but no one else in the house likes them.

That sounds intriguing. You can get fried ones from South America. I like them too. The taste could be similar.

Oh, I love broad bean hummus. We make it with our dried broad beans too, but it’s nicer with the young ones.
