Directions

  1. Cook the broad beans and green peas separately, ensuring each is cooked just until tender.
  2. Keep the green pea broth, and once the broad beans are cooked, peel them.
  3. Make the onion sweat by painting it with oil paint in a jar.
  4. When the onion is softened, add the garlic and cook together over low heat until lightly browned.
  5. Once the vegetables are cooked through, add the bacon and flour. ≈ 3 min
  6. Cook for one minute, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula, then add the broth. Continue to stir to prevent lumps from forming.
  7. Once the broth is simmering, add the vegetables and cook for one minute. Season with salt.
