Ingredients for Algerian Broad Beans Garlic Fves En Sauce

  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

How to Make Algerian Broad Beans Garlic Fves En Sauce

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Stir in the broad beans, vegetable broth, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the broad beans are tender.
  4. Stir in the chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more broth.
  5. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy as a light meal or alongside grilled meats.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
