A delicious way to make the most of the new season´s crop of broad beans. After cooking the beans, slip them out of their translucent ‘jackets’ or leave them as they are, if preferred.

Ingredients

  • 450g (1lb) fresh broad bean pods
  • 4 pork steaks, trimmed of any fat
  • 4 spring onions, trimmed and sliced
  • 300ml (½pt) dry cider
  • 1 chicken stock cube
  • 4tbsp créme fraiche
  • 2tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1tbsp olive oil
  • 1tbsp plain flour
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Remove the broad beans from their pods and cook in a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. Grill or barbecue the pork steaks for about 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

  3. While the pork is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the spring onions for 2-3 minutes until softened. Take off the heat and stir in the flour, pour in the cider and crumble in the stock cube. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, and bubble for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thickened and smooth.

  4. Stir the broad beans and créme fraiche into the pan and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer for a further 2 minutes before adding the parsley.

  5. Serve the pork with the sauce spooned over. Accompany with vegetables of your choice.


Tip

The cooking time for the pork will depend on the thickness of the steaks. As pork must be thoroughly cooked, cut into the thickest steak to check it´s cooked before serving.
