  • Depends what you're doing with them.

    I've used these in baghali polo: https://miladbazar.com/products/istanbul-split-broad-beans-900g?
    I get that part of the appeal is the actual act of sitting around shelling the fuckers (my friend growing up was the son of some Iranian diplomat so at least once a month we'd be drafted) , but these gave decent results.

    I also do a warmed through salad of broad beans, mint, lemon (zest and juice), maybe a bit of feta. Would def only use fresh for that.

  • usually fry them shelled with lardons or mix with broccoli in creamy pasta dishes.

  • Just seen this, how would they suit adding to a curry?

    @Mr_Smyth now that mix with broccoli in a creamy pasta sounds lovely.

    Noted that you can find tinned fava beans would they make an acceptable substitute?
