Check out my broad bean dip recipe in today’s Cork Independent. I usually keep the skins on broad beans for their added fiber but this dip is a lot smoother if you take them off.

Broad bean dip
300g Broad Beans
Juice of 1 lemon
1 clove of garlic – crushed
Half a medium red chilli – deseeded and finely chopped
10 mint leaves – finely chopped
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
Pod beans if you have bought them whole or you can buy broad beans already podded.
Boil a little water, add broad beans and cook for 2 mins. Drain and wash under cold straight away.
Place the lemon, garlic, chilli, cooled broad beans and mint leaves into a food processor (or use a hand blender) and blitz. Slowly add the olive oil until is smooth. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Serve on salad of fresh rocket leaves with some wholemeal toast.
