Broad Bean Dreams: my masterchef!

When we started allotmenteering we really wanted to grow favourite vegetables.

And this year we also wanted to be better at creating more ingredients for meals. The idea being that we could provide more of each dish.

I’m also very fortunate that my masterchef is creative in the kitchen!

So here’s the latest broad bean invention.

From the garden:

Broad beans

Finely chopped Chilli

Finely chopped Garlic

From the pantry

GF Pasta

Pesto (yes, shortly the pesto will be home made too)

Cheese if you need it!

What we did:

Cook the pasta in boiling water

Bring the broad beans to the boil in a small quantity of water for 3 to 4 minutes

Then sauté the cooked beans in butter or olive oil according to your preference for two minutes.

Add finely chopped chilli and fresh garlic.

Combine pasta, bean mix and pesto in one pan.

Serve with parings of cheese if you wish.

It was totally delicious, it disappeared quickly! I 💜 broad beans!
