Pan fried broad beans with garlic

Preparation – 1 hour + waiting time

tip: soak the dried broad beans overnight in cold water 

Make sure the beans are soaked overnight and fill a medium-sized pan with water and bring to a boil. Cook the soaked broad beans for about an hour, it's possible that it takes a bit longer.  

Sometimes the skin of the beans are a bit harder, this can vary, you need to cook them a bit longer than usual. Drain the broad beans and set them aside.

Peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic cloves.

Heat a bit of olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the beans for about 5 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic and sauté a few minutes more. Season with pepper and salt.

Stir in a handful of cress and serve as a side dish. Enjoy!
