Fava Beans with Tomato Concasse and Soft-Boiled Eggs

Fava beans, also called broad beans, like other vegetables are high in protein, fibre, minerals and vitamin C. Eating these beans can boost your body’s immunity and help maintain a healthy digestive system.

How to store fava beans or broad beans

Fresh, unshelled broad beans can easily be stored in a plastic bag in the fridge for up to 10 days. 

Once cooked and shelled they should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of two days. Cooked beans can be frozen but might be slightly watery when thawed. 

Dried broad beans can be kept at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a year.

How to use broad beans

• Add to hummus to give it a light green colour.
• Can add texture to soups.
• Add to salads for extra fibre and protein.
• Sauté with some olive oil, add some fresh herbs and lemon juice, and serve as a side dish.
• Use them to make a fancy toast topping.
