Notes

Larger broad beans
If you use young broad beans which have not become tough you can then use them as they are. If they are older and a bit bigger you will also need to remove them from the outer pod after blanching them. You'll see after cooking that the outer shell will have become loose, then you just cut a slit in that shell and squeeze out the small green bean within.
