  This week, I received broad beans and spring onions in my organic veg box and with my mint sprouting away merrily on my balcony at the moment, this seemed the perfect recipe to try. I double-podded the beans (I spotted that trick on another recipe and I only wish my mum had known about this as I haven't eaten broad beans since my childhood due to bad memories of chewing my way despondantly through the thick skin holding the two beans within the pod...), I used much less than 50g of butter and was rather pleased with the result. Shall definitely do this again.

  Used mangetouts instead of peas and a small onion instead of spring onions and the result was a delicious way to eat broad beans.
