How to Make Broad Beans With Pangrattato

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of broad beans and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still slightly firm.
  2. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, gently rub or peel off the outer skins of the broad beans. Discard skins.
  4. While the beans are cooling, prepare the pangrattato: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup of breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. Stir in the zest of 1 lemon and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.
  6. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the prepared broad beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
  7. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Transfer the broad beans to a serving bowl. Sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and the prepared pangrattato.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
