The Method
1. Start by prepping your ingredients. De-shell your broad beans, then blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes before draining and rinsing them with cold water to make them cool enough to handle.
2. Roughly chop the mint and spring onions and add to the food processor. You can add these whole but may end up with a chunkier dip.
3. Pop the beans out of their cases and add them to your food processor as well as the avocado, feta and a few dollops of yoghurt. For dairy-free and vegan alternatives chat to our team in-store for their top suggestions.
4. That’s it! Give it a blitz for a few minutes until it reaches the desired consistency. Make it look pretty with chopped mint, feta to garnish and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
