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.

Oyster Mushroom Noodles (2)

A vegetarian noodle dish with Eastern European influences. Be patient when you are frying the onions- they need to be caramelised slowly so do not be tempted to rush them. My supermarket had no fresh egg noodles but they did have Lentil Protein Noodles and they worked well. Don’t be put of by the long list of ingredients- its quite easy to prepare. The recipe is from ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage and is so good i will make it on repeat.
