Broad Bean and Bacon
Spring has definitely sprung in Ireland but we’re not picking beans just yet. This recipe works just as well with the frozen variety.
Broad Beans with Bacon – serves 6
- 60g diced bacon (or ham)
- butter
- 1kg cooked broad beans
- 2-3 tbsp light béchamel sauce (make a batch and you can freeze the remainder)
- cream
- chopped parsley
Cook the bacon in a little butter.
Add the cooked beans, the béchamel sauce, cream and a little chopped parsley. Simmer together for 5 minutes.
