Simple Broad Bean Stir Fry

As it says, very simple.

Fry some onions til transparent in olive oil, add some soya sauce. Better quality soya sauces are preferable, such as Shoyo or Tamari.

Add your young broad beans – they are best at the start of the broad bean season.

Optionally add some other greens – I had a small red cabbage hanging around, picked from the garden a couple of days ago.
And perhaps a bit of garlic, or herbs – I chopped insome fresh coriander today. Broad beans and coriander are available in the garden at the same time of year, so that combination makes sense.

Cook the whole lot on a low heat, stirring continually until it has all softened a bit – not to a mush, stir fries are better if the vegetables are still a little crunchy.
