I was watching an old rerun of Rick Stein in the med yesterday and saw this and thought I would give it a try. It passed both the J and Lali test!
500g dried broad/fava beans
3 potaotes-peeld and cubed
3 cloves of garlic
salt and black pepper
1 tsp ground cummin seeds
a pinch of chili powder
fruity olive oil
Put everything in a pot, just cover with water and boil for about 1 hour-add more water if necessary as you go. With a wooden spoon "smash" the beans and potatoes, keep simmering until the consistency of polenta. Season to taste and pour in a good glug of olive oil.
Serve with fresh sprouting broccoli.
About me
I grew up in Kenya, living on a ranch, eating real home grown and home cooked food. This shaped the view I had on food, as I didn’t know any different, until I went to boarding school overseas. I got sick, everything I ate made me sick. I became a vegan, that was over 20 years ago and I have never looked back. I eat plant based, mainly home gown food. I am lucky enough to live on an avocado farm on the slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro and I have a huge vegetable garden. This blog was initially started because I would give my friends baskets of veggies and invariably I would get a phone call asking what to do with certain things. My recipes are inspired by my garden and the incredible produce that I get from it. My dream is to inspire others to eat real food.
