Oh No, More Broad Beans

In almost every dinner now – they are still mainly very small tender baby broad beans. We can pick a basket of them every day and it doesn’t make a dent on what we have growing.

Stir fries, salads, stews, I put them in wherever I might use dry beans (or the cheaply bought jars of beans rather) at other times. Soon they will be too big to eat like that. Then I’ll let them finish growing, dry out and have a go at milling them to make broad bean flour – to sneak into breads, cakes and dinners. Or perhaps we’ll be feeding them to the chickens! We’ll see.
