Broad Beans, Pods and All
It took us four years to grow these broad beans. Every year before this, they were taken over by blackfly, but this time, with kale and broccoli flowering nearby, the bees arrived and everything changed. I cooked them the way I grew up eating them in Turkey, young and whole, pods and all. They took much longer than expected to soften, but the flavour was worth the wait, simple, lemony and finished with dill.
