Broad beans with mint and apple

The broad bean is actually very tasty and something of a delicacy.

Preparing broad beans involves double shelling, but it's certainly worth the efforts. Remove the outer pod and blanch the beans. Cool them down and peel off the skins to reveal the bright green beans.

If you cannot get hold of broad beans, you can use edamame beans instead for this recipe.

Vorgehensweise

Blanch the broad beans for 5 min. in water with 1 tsp salt. Let them cool a bit and remove the pods as they taste bitter.

Melt a knob of butter in a pan. Add mint and beans and give it a careful stir. You want the beans to absorb the buttery taste. Season with 1 tsp salt and let the beans simmer for about 5 min. before you transfer them to a bowl. Fold in the diced apple and serve warm.
