How to Make Algerian Broad Beans Garlic Fves En Sauce

  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.
