Gorgeously Simple Broad Bean and Parmesan Salad

1 July 2008

(serves 4)
Frozen broad beans work okay in this dish, but fresh are better.

300g double peeled broad beans, warmed if desired
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4-5 fresh basil leaves, finely shredded
40-60g Italian parmesan, finely grated

Toss the beans with the lemon juice, olive oil, basil, salt and pepper and lay in a serving dish. Sprinkle generously with parmesan. Serve with crusty bread.
