How long do I cook broad beans for?

[wilbur]

I have broad beans here. Never cooked them before - what do I do?

Take them out of the pod, make sure that you remove the stalk from each bean. Boil for ... well, as long as you like them cooked for really. I only boil them for four or five minutes but I like my veg lightly cooked. Small beans cook quicker; if they're bigger you might need to cook for up to 10 minutes or so.

I microwaved mine last night for 3 minutes, yummmy too :-)

Cool, thank you!
