Modern Redaction

Ingredients:

450g split broad (fava) beans (these will already be hulled)
950ml strong beef, game or red wine stock
2 medium onions, roughly chopped
5-6 strands of Saffron ground into 1 tbsp water in a pestle and mortar and allowed to seep.


Method:

Preparation

Soak the dried beans over night in water. The following day, drain the beans and place in a pestle and mortar with a little water and mash into a rough paste (alternatively add the beans and a little water to a food processor and chop). Place the beef stock in a pan and bring to the boil. Add the mashed beans and simmer for at least an hour, until the beans are nearly soft.

Fry the onion in a little butter and once soft and translucent add to the bean mixture. Bring to the boil and allow to simmer for a further twenty minutes. At this point add the saffron and its seeping water, mix thoroughly into the bean and onion mixture and serve immediately.
