Broad beans - I have a glut and ds is not keen

[meltedmarsbars]

How can I make them interesting and tasty? at the mo I'm just adding them to the mange-tout as they cook.

Any ideas, maybe with chorizo, bacon, etc?

Delia has a recipe

It is also pretty nice with a yogurt/creme fraiche dressing. Unfortunately I've lost my recipe though I bet you could find one on the internet.

God I love broad beans. If you have a glut you can freeze them.

Don't know about any meat ideas as veggie, I'm afraid, but how about bissara? It's a bit like houmous only made with broad beans - there's a recipe here

You can also make nice soup with broad beans, there are quite a lot of recipes online.

Both these look lovely - will try the hummus one at the weekend- dh's work colleagues coming.

Mrs Happy I hate frozen broad beans - too many as a child.

of all the beans and pulses out there, broad beans really are the most horrible imo

I second the humous dip thingy, if you really are insistant on cooking with them

What else am I to do with them? Have just given a bunch of pods to the dad who brought my ds back this eve.

Tonnes of recipes here.

Don't grow them in the first place

Send them this way they're my favourite.

Toss with cubed pancetta and goats cheese. Grinding of salt & pepper, olive oil. They go with all pig products.

Gorgeous!

Alternatively, sit with bowl of beans on lap to pod them to make something delicious.

Eat all beans in absent-minded fashion whilst watching TV

ewwwwwwwww you can do nothing nice with them if it involves consuption! it is the one food I can't stand.

urmm use them for playing hop scotch with.. or a dodgey game of marbles

Saw this recipe the other day and thought it looked fab.

Have just had broad beans for lunch - lightly blanched, doused in vinaigrette and sprinkled with crispy bacon bits, surprisingly very nice!!
