Modern RedactionIngredients:
450g split broad (fava) beans (these will already be hulled) Method:PreparationSoak the dried beans over night in water. The following day, drain the beans and place in a saucepan with the broth. Bring to the boil then simmer for about an hour (or until the beans are nearly soft). Meanwhile fry the bacon in a pan and once done set aside. Continue simmering the beans for a further ten minutes (or until they are really soft) and using a fork (or a potato masher) roughly mash the beans into the the broth. Add the bacon pieces and simmer for a further ten minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with a good sprinkling of parsley (again, this is not in the original but it looks good). Note, no seasonings are added during the cooking process; the assumption (as in the original recipe) is that the broth itself has been seasoned. Also the bacon will be salted and will act as an additional seasoning. |
