Addictive umami snack
Inspired by the Japanese edamame bean, these chilli soy broad beans are an instantly satisfying snack or starter before a meal. Alternatively, serve them over rice with fish, meat and vegetables for a more substantial meal. They are also great in canapés and served with drinks.
How to prepare broad beans
Broad beans have a thick, leathery skin. Some people eat the skin, but the tastiest way to serve them is to remove the skin completely. This is easy to do once the beans have been cooked and cooled in cold water. Simply pick up a bean and quickly squeeze it out of the shell between 2 fingers.
