Step-by-step

  1. Quickly blanche the broad beans in a pan of salted boiling water until tender. Drain and immediately plunge into a bowl of iced cold water.
  2. Remove the broad beans from their skins.
  3. Place all the ingredients (apart from the olive oil) into a mixer and blitz until blended.
  4. Add a glug of olive oil to help combine the ingredients. Spoon into a bowl and level to remove any air pockets.
  5. Serve immediately with warm pitta bread, or cover with a film of olive oil to preserve and store in the refrigerator.
