Broad Bean Sauce

Ingredients

  • Fresh young broad beans (pods about 10–12 cm / 4–5 in long), strings removed, sliced 2–3 cm (1 in) pieces
  • 1 medium onion, finely sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (30 ml)
  • Pinch ground coriander (or crushed seeds)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Plain yogurt (optional, to serve)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat; gently fry onion 4–5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic; cook 1 minute.
  2. Add sliced broad beans, coriander, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer gently 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and mixture forms a loose sauce.
  3. Adjust seasoning. Serve hot over rice, couscous, or pasta; optionally top with a spoon of yogurt.
