Broad Beans

[River daughter]

Hi :)

After years of practice, I still can't find a quick way to get broad beans out of the pod :rolleyes:
--- you know, in the way you can with peas, by popping the pod.

Anyone got the secret ? B)

BROAD BEANS
Just one of the varieties of green bean, broad beans are usually removed from the pod before cooking. They have a distinctive flavour and a smooth, creamy texture.
Seasonal availability: June to August.
Uses: As an accompanying vegetable served with fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, dill or thyme.
To store: Keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
To prepare: To remove the beans from the pod, snap off one end of the pod and split it open to reveal the beans.
To cook: Cook in boiling water for 5-15 minutes until just tender, really fresh smaller beans will cook quickly.
Not very helpfull though is it :lol:

I was beginning to think there was nothing to say about broad beans --- honestly --- as if it was some sort of conversation stopper :blush:

Thanks for looking :flowers:

I shall continue with the long-winded way :yes:
