humpday recipe: pod fritters

Happy humpday readers, we’re halfway to the weekend.

I’m a bit late with this really because it’s about these little beauties….

…the broad bean.  Apparently broad bean season is over.  Already!!  Like asparagus season, broad bean season is so short!  So I made the most of it all by eating them rather than posting about them.  So if it’s still broad bean season where you are this is for you.

Your beans are cooking away in a risotto, or in a pasta sauce, or in whatever delicious way you like them but what do you do with these?

The pods.  Throw them away? No, never!!!!

Instead, cut them into small fingers….

…dip them in soy milk and flour and shallow fry.

Seriously delicious, especially dipped in ketchup, salsa or chili dip!
