Chargrilled Broad Beans

November 5, 2013 By JJ 10 Comments

Chargrilled Broad Beans (Fava Beans)

I’m kind of stuck right now. Pulled this way and that, feeling as if very few things are actually moving in a forward direction while others zoom right past.

I haven’t been posting much lately as I can’t seem to find anything to write. The recipes come, as do the photos, but then I simply draw a blank.

I thought taking a bit of time out would help, reignite the words perhaps, but it hasn’t. So instead of waiting or writing rubbish just to fill in spaces I’m going to stick with what works — and what makes me happy.

Chargrilled Broad Beans (Fava Beans)

Recipes and the pictures, pictures and the recipes. They fit how my mind works. They make me happy. Even if there is nothing to say other than “this food makes me happy today”, I’m ok with that right now.

These broad beans were inspired by the ones I had at Harts Yard the first week they opened — as a matter of fact when I saw the new season beans in a green grocer recently there was really only ever one thing I even considered using them for — simple really is best sometimes.

Did you know broad beans and fava beans are the same thing? Yep, so it’s only fitting you serve these with a nice Chianti.

Chargrilled Broad Beans

Chargrilled Broad Beans (Fava Beans)Broad beans are a celebration of spring and a promise of the bountiful summer harvest only a few short months away. Cooking the pods over a smokey barbeque keeps the beans tender and amps up the flavour tenfold.

Serves 2 or more

INGREDIENTS

  • a few large handfuls fresh broad bean pods, washed
  • olive or avocado oil
  • sea salt
  • half a lemon
  • Vegan Chipotle Cashew Aioli

METHOD

Preheat a cast iron grill-pan or bbq grill. Drizzle pods with oil and rub to coat lightly.

Place broad bean pods in a single layer and cook 5 mins, flip pods and cook a further 5 mins. Repeat, flipping for a further 3 – 5 mins on each side until tender and just charred. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Rub lemon with a bit of oil and place on hot grill for a minute or two until edges start to caramelise.

To eat, pop beans out of outer pod and peel tough inner-skin off to reveal the tender broad beans. Serve with Vegan Chipotle Cashew Aioli, left thick for dipping or thinned for drizzling.

COOK’S NOTES

  • If possible, get young broad bean pods as the beans will be more tender. Pick pods that are firm and free from dark marks.
  • If using a grill pan it helps to cover beans with a flat lid or tray while cooking.

    The first time I even had broad beans were at hartsyard. I loved the char grill on them and have loved them since!

    Love broad beans, but really wish they didn’t have that thick skin around the bean. You get them out of the pod and then are face with that. Yes, I am lazy ;p

    I hear you regarding “always being on” and creativity. Do what works for you and relish it! As for the broad beans I’ve never tried them chargrilled and now I’m intrigued. Great stuff JJ!

    These look DELICIOUS, the second chargrilled broad bean post that I’ve read this week! I think that’s a sign that I need to give them a go whilst fresh broad beans are still available. Yum! Thanks for the inspiration JJ x

    I often wish someone could write all the words for me and I just do the photos and recipes. At times I just wish I could post the recipe and images.

    My dad grows broad beans back home in Perth and eats them straight off the plant by the bucket loads. I’m not really a fan of them raw but love the sound of them chargrilled.

That’s it. That’s the post.
Apparently today is National Strawberry Day, it’ Apparently today is National Strawberry Day, it’s overcast and raining in LA (so a plate of sunshine is absolutely necessary), and if you’ve been here for more than a hot second you know how I feel about toast.
🍞🍓🥒🌱
Toasted sourdough, goat chèvre (or vegan cream cheese), sliced strawberries, cucumber ribbons, fresh mint, olive oil, black pepper, just a pinch of salt. Go forth and feast.

I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption and everything. And I intended to post it that day as a reflection moving into a new year. But instead, mom and I went out for pizza and wine, and then it was Jan 2, and so on and so on. 
🌀
So instead you’re getting it on Feb 1. A new day and another new month (but what is a new month or a new year, other than a societal convention really). 
☀️
Because, each day, each sunrise, we have the opportunity to start anew - no matter how big or little that start may be. A chance to take another step forward - no matter how many steps back you feel you’re fighting against. 
🌀
Whether this past year brought blinding joy or paralysing grief (and in whatever measure of balance or imbalance), I hope each new day sees the landscape of your life look one step closer to what you imagine it to be. And that when the waves roll in and change that landscape, you can roll with it and see the beauty and possibility on the other side.
🌊
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations, have a cookie 🍪 And I’ll leave you with the rolling waves and blue sky of a California beach in January. I truly hope this year sees us all grow stronger and move forward with each new day. Going backwards is simply not an option.

When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did. 
💥
Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
Flowers for your Friday, that is all.

Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy o Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy of my go-to Half-Spelt, Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough recipe 🍕 (the one I’ve been teasing for years), AND a new voiceover by little Ms Marmalade herself 👧🏼.
☀️ I mean, I’m not saying the sound on this video will brighten up your day by an infinite amount, but I’m not, not, saying that either ✨. 
—-
The full recipe with all the info is over on my site (⛓ in profile and all that jazz), along with a longer version of the video. Because a 5yo singing - SINGING - about rolling dough into balls is ah-mazing. 
—-
Ingredients, for those wondering:
* whole spelt flour
* white 00 pizza flour
* water
* sourdough starter discard
* active dry yeast
* kosher salt
* millet flour (for shaping)
⏲ All the times and weights are in that aforementioned post - plus opts to bake right away vs letting it all ferment for a day or two... There’s also a list of equipment I use, and my personal flour and pizza oven faves. Now go have a pizza party! 🍕🎉
Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means it’s about time I (finally) shared this 🍗 🍇🍊 image from a test shoot collab well over a year ago 🙈. I actually made these Cornish Hens for Christmas last year too and they’ll be on the menu again this year. It’s a perfect holiday feast solution for a small group with only a few meat eaters, but also if you simply can’t be bothered to tackle a turkey!

There seems to be a common thread this year of people asking in stories if it’s ok to start decorating for 🎄 already - my answer, every time, is ‘the world is on fire, time has no meaning, go for your life’. Am I wrong? (I’m not, haha) I may even put up a tree here more than 3 days before (I do keep it up until Easter though, so who knows 😜). Are you getting festive already or do you have hard and fast rules about these things?
