Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 ribs celery, trimmed and chopped
  • 1 cup dried broad beans, skinned
  • 4 cups vegetable stock or water
  • 1/2 tsp dried savoury (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen broad beans, shelled
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 1 handful of fresh mint, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions
1 Add the oil to a saucepan over low heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until soft; avoid browning.

2 When soft, add the dried broad beans to the pan, stir around, then add the stock and savoury, if using. Cover and bring to a boil, then keep at a boil for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat and simmer for a further 20 to 50 minutes, or until the beans have broken down into a mush.

3 Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil and blanch the fresh broad beans for 1 minute; remove them using a slotted spoon and skin them if the skins are tough. Scald the tomatoes in the same pot of boiling water, then skin and chop them.

4 Purée the dried bean and celery mixture until smooth using an immersion blender; stir in the fresh beans, tomatoes and mint and reheat gently.

5 Season to taste with salt and pepper; serve.

Prep & cook time: 1 1/2 hours
Serves: 4
