In breve
The dish in short
- Dried broad beans, skinned, soaked at least 12 hours, then cooked about 3 hours over low heat until they fall into a purée.
- The purée is beaten with a wooden spoon while olive oil is drizzled in: dense and soft, but still a little grainy.
- Chicory, wild where possible, boiled apart in lightly salted water until tender, then laid as a bed under the purée.
- Only four ingredients: broad beans, chicory, extra virgin olive oil and salt, with more raw oil poured over each plate.
