Broad Bean Dip

broad beans dip

This is a quick, healthy dip that you can enjoy with rustic crackers.  And it also makes a great sandwich filling with some gem lettuce leaves. If you like broad beans – this is the spread for you!

I’m not a big broad bean friend myself, because I find the beans a little bitter on their own. I used to like them with feta or with a bit of sweet potato, spinach leaves and peas. In my eyes this spread would benefit from an addition of something – maybe a “ricotta style tofu” or something. Any ideas?
