If your broad beans are more mature and larger, then you might want to pod them and then skin them. This leaves delicious, sweet, delicately-flavoured beans. |

Method
|
- Pod the beans.
- Cook them in boiling water for 1 minute.
- Plunge them into cold water, to cool them.
- Make a nick in the top of each bean, with your thumb nail.
- Gently squeeze the bright green bean out of the skin.
- Boil for 3-4 minutes.
- Especially towards the end of the season, skinned beans have a sweeter, milder taste.
