Broad Beans
The Broad Beans are just finishing, and they have been wonderful. The trick is to catch them young, and cook them by just steaming them for a short time.
We have managed to give quite a few of them away - it was especially good to swap a lot for a HUGE quantity of Asparagus.
So we have just invented a wonderful salad - just as we run out of beans.
Cook and chill the Broad Beans.
Add Kalamatta Olives, cubed fetta (we use Australian full-cream fetta) and some finely sliced spring onion (I use the red scallions).
Finally, pour over Italian dressing.
It is very, very nice.

Know what you mean about home-grown broad beans. This year's crop was my first and I'll be growing them again next year. Nice flowers on them, too. And I like your salad idea, could almost taste it as I read it!
Cheers

oooh, salad sounds lovely - might have to try that soon!
unfortunately never had any success with broad beans... but the toilet roll idea sounds interesting...
