Sopa de Ajo (4)

A favourite Spanish soup from ” Cook “, the first recipe book by Thomasina Miers which I bought in 2007 and which i think is now out of print. If your guests are squeamish about runny eggs poach the eggs in the soup or separately before serving , but the Spanish would never do this!

Broad Beans with Poached Egg (6)

A Pintxo recipe which serves 6 as a starter or side dish from ” Basque” by Jose Pizarro . When you cook broad beans for a long tiome they become very soft and nutty. If you buy the broad beans when they are very young you will not need to double pod the beans, but you can also use frozen broad beans.
