yes! blanche broad beans and fresh peas. slice some courgettes thinly and fry off till browned slightly (about 2 courgette per one bag beans and one bag peas). cool and mix together. crumble in some feta. add some tymme (lemon tyme if you can get it). add a dressing of olive oil, white wine vinegar and dijon mustard. seasonal and delicious

or blanche them, crush with pestle/mortar and add garlic, herbs, olive oil and chillis for a pestoey like sauce for pasta

god no, they are the only vegetable I really don't like.

make a broad bean, pea, mint and feta salad

yum

oh good one CD, was just wondering what to have for dinner and you've reminded me I have some feta cheese.

do take the skins off once you've blanched them though, unless they're tiny, it is worth the faff

thank you so much!

bundle, as a vege I think I'll give yours a miss as I can see tht the bacon or pancetta would defo make that recipe

oooh sorry oatcake.

just blanche, de pod, drizzle with olive oil and salt and shavings of parmesan
