Minted Broad / Fava Bean Puree

• 500 g frozen broad beans (or 1kg of fresh, still in pods)
• 1 12 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 12 tablespoons of fresh mint, chopped
• 2 12 tablespoons olive oil, fruity
• ground black pepper
• salt, ground

1. Remove beans from pods.
2. Put into pot of boiling water, return to the boil & cook until tender (approx 8-10 mins for fresh, 3-5 for frozen from when the water begins boiling again).
3. Drain & run under cold water.
4. Remove the skins (this does not taste as good if you leave them on, so is worth the effort).
5. Put the beans, lemon juice & salt to taste in a blender/food processor.
6. Pulse until smooth, then add the olive oil, mint & pepper.
7. Pulse again, then put into a serving bowl.
8. If it seems too stiff add a bit more oil.
9. Cover and refrigerate until used (remove from the fridge approx 1/2 an hour before serving to remove the chill).
