This simple broad bean dish is good as a side with roast lamb or lamb chops, or with salmon. Enjoy either warm or at room temperature. There's no need to double pod your broad beans at the beginning of the season – all they'll need is a quick blanch. If you have older beans, or those picked later, it's worth making the extra effort.
