Ingredients
- Broad beans
- Green beans
- Frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon horseradish
- Rapeseed oil
- Salt & pepper
Method
- Boil a kettle. Remove the broad beans from their pods.
- Slice the runner beans into chunks of a similar size to the broad beans. Cook the beans for 3 minutes in boiling, salted water. Add the frozen peas and cook for a further 2 mins.
- Drain the beans and peas with a colander and then plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant green colour. If you don’t have any ice, just run the greens under the cold tap until they’re cool to touch.
- Add the beans to a food processor with the horseradish and a drizzle of rapeseed oil and salt and pepper. Blitz until smooth.
- Serve the dip with your favourite crisps, breads or veggies.
