Broad beans? Parsnip? Never cooked. But how?

Incredulous or not. I have never tried cooking these before. Broad beans have a rubbery layer surrounding each seed. Am I supposed to remove them? Certainly tasted more tender and looked more pleasing-green than not removed. The white base was a puree of parsnip and potato. A helping of good olive oil, lemon juice and some chive flowers from my home herb pots. Tasted alright, light. maybe as a starter. I know most of my friends would want some chilli sauce on this one.

My friend visited today for a coffee. We tried the Dead Man Espresso blend from 7 seeds. It’s full of fruity body. Flavours that bounce out through the milk. She’s got a Pansonic point and shoot – a very good one but. I was really amazed at what small cameras can do. Later tonight, confirmed by my brother who always have wanted a similar one for ‘backup’.
