Dry Broad Beans (Habas secas) 500g

$5.50

Pantry-ready, hearty, and full of rustic flavor. These classic legumes bring a creamy, nutty taste and a firm, satisfying bite to soups, stews, salads, and spreads. Perfect for slow-simmered cassoulets, smoky bean purées, or simply transformed into a comforting bowl with olive oil, lemon, and herbs.

Features

  • Whole, dried broad beans (also called fava beans) for long shelf life and budget-friendly cooking.

  • Rich in protein and fibre — a wholesome plant-based choice.

  • Versatile: soak and simmer for tender stews, roast for crunchy snacks, or puree for dips and spreads.

  • Neutral, earthy flavour that pairs beautifully with garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, tomato, and lemon.

Cooking basics

  • Soak overnight in plenty of water, then drain and rinse.

  • Simmer gently 45–90 minutes (depending on size and freshness) until tender; add salt near the end.

  • For faster results, simmer without soaking for about 90–120 minutes, or use a pressure cooker for 20–30 minutes.

  • For a silky purée, remove skins after cooking by pinching beans between fingers.

Serving ideas

  • Classic broad bean and ham stew or vegetarian cassoulet.

  • Blended with olive oil, lemon, and garlic for a vibrant dip or sandwich spread.

  • Tossed with roasted vegetables, feta, and fresh herbs for a Mediterranean salad.

  • Roast cooked beans with spices for a crunchy snack.

Storage Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Keeps well for many months — the longer they sit, the longer they’ll take to cook, so plan soaking time accordingly.

Bring home the comforting, earthy goodness of dry broad beans — pantry-friendly and ready to help you cook something soulful and delicious.
