Broad bean firm broad pod which should be a good green colour and not too limp. |
|
|
|
Broad beans are removed from the pod and the beans cooked in boiling salted water for 5-10 mins.
|
Refresh and peel the outer waxy skin to reveal two halves of the bean. |
The waxy skin can be left on when the bean is young, but as it ages this is tough to eat. |
