A welcome sign of spring, this dish combines fresh broad bean pods cooked in olive oil with onion and dill. Lemon brings out the delicate flavor of the pods and the freshness of the generous helping of dill.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the broad bean pods

12 min

Trim the ends and remove the strings from the fresh broad bean pods, then cut them up. Leave in lemon water to prevent discoloration.

2

Sauté the onion

5 min

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion until soft.

3

Cook

25 min

Add the drained broad bean pods, granulated sugar, salt and hot water. Cover and cook over low heat until the pods are tender. Warning: use only a little water.

4

Finish with dill and lemon

2 min

Just before removing from the heat, add the lemon juice and half the chopped dill. Once cool, serve with the remaining dill.

Reminder

Important: trim the ends and remove the strings from the fresh broad bean pods; tough strings remain unpleasant in the mouth. After cutting the pods, leave them in lemon water to prevent discoloration. Cook with a little water and serve at room temperature. Vegan.

Üzerine hangi sosu önerirsiniz? Malzemeler oda sıcaklığında mı olmalı, buzdolabından çıkar çıkmaz mı kullanılmalı?

Uzun zamandır ilk kez bu kadar rahat bir tarif yaptım. Çocuklar sebzeli olduğunu fark etmeden yediler, bu da ayrı bir başarı. Annemin yıllardır yaptığı tarife çok benziyor, nostaljik oldu.
