Mise en place

  • Soak the beans for a minimum of 15 hours in cold water.

Method

  1. Drain and rinse the beans, and boil in salted water until cooked.
  2. Leaving the beans in the cooking water, gently fry the garlic in the olive oil until golden. Use a deepish pan for this.
  3. Whilst the garlic is cooking, drain the beans and then mix them with the garlic and oil, together with the wine vinegar.
  4. Mash some (not all) of the beans and boil for a few minutes.
  5. Serve hot.

Variations

Although not so authentic, you can add other flavourings such as herbs, spices or lemon juice.

Chef's notes

When looking for the dried broad beans, make sure they are brownish-green and labelled as dried broad beans or fava beans. I have noticed that some mis-informed characters on the WWW have stated that they are the same as butter beans, which they are not. Do not be deceived!
