  Tasty recipe. I add some cooked chicken breast pieces when you add the beans and it makes it more a substantial meal. Be careful while cooking the shallots because if they start to caramelise, you'll end up with a brown risotto! Not remotely a problem in terms of taste, but it doesn't look quite so pretty.

  I didn't use wine, and maybe this was the reason why I found this recipe really tasteless.... I would only try it again with the wine, and unless it tasted better I wouldn't make it again. Shame though, as it looks great on a plate!

  Loved this recipe, but felt it needed more lemon as my zest wasn't strong enough. I also used three cloves of garlic, and omitted the wine (what we had!). Served it with fresh lemon squeezed over, and it really lifted the flavour. Simple. light. Delicious.

  I would suggest using a bit of vermouth (Noilly Prat) it gives more flavour than wine.

  Even though broad beans are one of my favorite veg, I thought this was totally bland would not bother again.
