RECIPE: Broad Bean Salad
Thanks to the hard work and love from our resident gardener, Edwin, our rooftop allotment on Regent Street is thriving! He’s growing and harvesting a wide range of herbs and vegetables to then use in our kitchens, including mint, parsley, thyme, sage and broad beans.
We’ve combined a few of these beautiful ingredients in this broad bean salad recipe – the perfect accompaniment to meat or vegetables cooked on the BBQ.

– 1 good handful parsley, chopped
– 1 good handful mint. chopped

– 12 tablespoons olive oil
METHOD
- 1. Boil the broad beans until just tender and then drain and place in a mixing bowl.
- 2. Add the herbs to the beans and toss lightly.
