Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2/3 pound broad beans -- (10 5/6 ounces)
1/2 bunch basil
1/4 pound grated parmesan -- (3 1/2 to 4 ounces)
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic

If using fresh broad beans, cover with water, bring to the boil and simmer
for 3-5 mins until soft. For a really vibrant colour, remove the outer
skins from the broad beans when cooked. If using frozen, cover in boiling
water and leave for few mins to thaw.

Blend the broad beans with the rest of the pesto ingredients and season to
taste. Add a little water if necessary to loosen the mixture.

Serve with pasta and a sprinkling of pine nuts or add a spoonful to
minestrone.

This will keep in a jar in the fridge for a few days, just top with a
layer of oil.

Serves 2

AuthorNote: A perfect way to use up broad beans when in season. If not,
frozen broad beans work just as well.
