How to prepare vegetables

Broad beans

Broad beans - removing from pod

Split the pod open at the seam and remove the beans inside.

Broad beans - peeling off the thin skin

Start peeling the thin skin from the blackish-colored line on these beans to make the process easier.

Broad beans - making a slit

If removal of the thin skin is not required, such as when lightly boiling in salt water to prepare, cut a slit into the middle line. Doing so will allow for faster cooking and also make the thin skin easier to peel away prior to eating.
