Broad Beans Prepared Do you need to soak Broad Beans before cooking
To cook simply cover the beans with water or stock, boil for 10 minutes then simmer, braise or roast for 20-30 minutes more. Pre-soaking speeds up cooking but isn’t essential. The beans will get softer and softer as they cook.
BLANCHING THE BROAD BEANS SPEEDS UP THE PODDING PROCESS
And then a couple of years later I learnt that if you blanch the broad beans, it is about a million times easier to double pod them. If only I’d known that in August 2021…
Since then, I’ve always followed this method when I cook broad beans.
The other day I thought I’d write the method up in a blog post in case there is anyone who like me knows to double pod their broad beans but doesn’t know that they need to blanch them first.
I know a lot more about cooking vegetables these days than I used to!
WHAT ARE BROAD BEANS?
Broad beans are also known as fava beans. The outer seed pod can only be eaten in very young beans. Otherwise, it’s the seeds within the pods that you want to eat.
Broad beans are popular in Middle Eastern, Chinese, South American and African cuisine. Dishes made with broad beans include:
Method
In this post, you will learn how to prepare fresh or dried broad beans (including peeling), cook them successfully and find some great recipes that use these versatile legumes.
While young broad beans can be eaten whole in their pods, you’ll usually need to remove them from their tougher, larger pods.
For best results, you need to double-pod the broad beans.
That simply means removing the beans from the pod, then you need to slip the beans out of their thick skin.
The easiest way is to blanch them first. That just means boiling them for a few minutes! Then they’ll pop right out of their skins.
Don’t be put off, it’s not a difficult task and the results are delicious.
I find it to be quite relaxing, actually. Listening to something interesting and methodically popping the beans from their shells can be very mindful!
WHAT ARE BROAD BEANS?
Broad beans (Vicia faba), also known as fava beans or Faba beans, are a legume in the pea and bean family, Fabaceae.
The large beans grow inside large pods that are discarded after shelling unless picked very young.
The leathery green long pods have a soft, downy, white interior, where the beans are nestled. They’re covered in a pale green/grey/white skin and inside that, the beans are bright green and smooth.
