Preparation Time 10 minutes
Cooking Time 2 minutes
Makes 1 cup

Ingredients

600g frozen broad beans
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
3 tsp ground cumin
1 tbs lemon juice
1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving
1/4 tsp sumac, plus extra for serving
Toasted pitta or Turkish bread, to serve

Method

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and cook broad beans for 2 minutes. Drain and plunge into cold water. Drain again and remove the outer skins.

Place broad beans and remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little extra oil and sprinkle lightly with extra sumac. Serve with pitta or Turkish bread.

Notes

1kg fresh broad beans will give you 350g podded beans. To prepare fresh beans, remove beans from pods and slip off skin.
