Known as a French recipe, with similar versions prepared across other nations.

Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. a bunch of savory
  2. Water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Broad beans should be shelled just before being cooked, and it is quite the rule to peel them.
  2. Boil them in salted water containing a bunch of savory, the size of which should be in proportion to the quantity of broad beans.
  3. When they are cooked and drained, add the leaves of savory (chopped) to them.
