Ingredients

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, sliced
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1kg broad beans, podded

  • ½ cup water
  • salt and pepper
  • juice of 1 lemon

Method

In a heavy based pan, cook the onion and garlic in olive oil until pale and soft. Add the spices and cook for a minute before adding the broad beans, tomatoes, water and salt and pepper.

Cover with a lid and cook very gently for 10-15 minutes or until the beans are just soft.

Add the lemon juice, coriander leaves and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and cook a further 5 minutes.

Serve warm as an accompaniment to meat, or at room temperature as a spread for crusty white bread.
