debbie Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hi all Ive started to harvest my broad beans, I've frozen some already but I'm stuck for ideas with recipes, I've only used them in risotto before. So can anyone help with ideas.......... can you use them raw? in salads, etc. I was thinking they might be nice with tomatos and courqettes in a sort of stir fry Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I've grown and cooked them for the first time this year as well! I found them delicious chucked in with the new potatoes and served with a bit of butter Your other ideas sound fine as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannie Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 ...... can you use them raw? in salads, etc. Yes you can! preferably quite small young ones, and ideally you should skin them too. Great with hardboiled eggs in the salad too, and maybe some anchovies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 They are divine de-jacketed and dished up in a potato salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
