broad beans with bacon
(1 rating)
This is a sturdy Westphalian recipe. If no fresh ones are available, you can use frozen or canned broad beans (fava beans). Use smoked bacon bits. If you can't get summer savoury, use thyme instead. I'm not totally sure about the cook time because I usually cook the potatoes one day in advance and use frozen beans which only require a couple of minutes to boil. And make sure you don't use fat-free bacon!! This recipe needs bacon fat for flavour.
