Broad bean paste
A simple broad bean paste that works great with bread, grilled meat, fresh and grilled vegetables. Thanks to mixing the ingredients, the consistency of this paste is creamy and delicate, and the whole thing literally melts in your mouth.
I start the preparation of the vegan broad bean paste by cooking frozen broad beans. Before cooking broad beans, I do not defrost, put them in a pot, pour water and cook until soft. The broad beans must be well soft, because after they cool down, I mix them with olive oil, garlic and salt. The paste itself is seasoned only with garlic and a pinch of salt, but I serve it with additions that perfectly emphasize its simple taste. I serve the broad bean paste with pomegranate seeds, sesame seeds and additional olive oil combined with parsley.
Dishes with which vegetarian broad bean paste tastes delicious are, for example:
I serve broad bean paste both for lunch and for breakfast and for supper, it is also perfect as a snack. I encourage you to go for the following recipe for broad bean paste and I wish you a tasty meal.
