Broad beans with an al dente bite drenched in umami soy and chilli
Taking inspiration from Japanese edamame beans, these Broad Beans with Chilli Soy are an instantly pleasing umami snack or appetizer before the main meal. Alternatively, serve them on rice, alongside fish, meat, and vegetables for something more filling. They also work wonderfully placed into canape spoons and served with drinks.
Very easy to prepare
Broad beans are covered in a thick leathery type shell. Some people eat the shell but the tastiest way to serve them is to remove the shell completely. This is easily done once beans have been cooked and cooled in cold water. Just simply pick up a bean and between 2 fingers quickly press it out of its shell. Once you start to pop you won’t want to stop!
