The problem with broad beans is I don't know what to do with them. I attempted a broad bean and mint hummus-like spread the first time they arrived in the veggie box, but we don't have a food processor so it wasn't very hummus-like (although still pretty tasty). I found this recipe for "Green Risotto with Fava Beans" (All Recipes), so I decided to sub my broads for the favas. Oh, excuse me Wikipedia, broad beans and fava beans are the SAME thing....NO WONDER they looked so similar in the picture!
I smooshed the beans up with a fork and a potato masher (in place of the food processor), so I didn't really get a puree per se, but it didn't matter much. I added some shiitake mushrooms and some garlic. It was absolutely delicious. I might dilute the chicken stock a bit next time, but this is definitely one to repeat. The constant stirring, was well, constant, but the end result was well worth it.
