Ingredients
  • ½ kg (1.1 pounds) Fresh broad bean pods (if they are very fresh) or 3 cups shelled broad beans
  • 1 Large onion, thinly chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons EVOO
  • 4 Tablespoons organic tomato passata (or 1 teaspoon tomato paste)
  • 400g (2 cups) Paella rice (bomba rice) but arborio or carnarolli rice can work too
  • ¾ l (3 cups) Vegetable stock
  • ½ Tablespoon sea salt or salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Have the fresh broad beans well washed and the rest of the ingredients prepared as indicated in the ingredients description. If the fresh broad bean pods are really fresh chop them into small pieces. Otherwise simply remove them from their pods and discard the pods.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large deep frying pan over medium heat, add the thinly chopped onion, a pinch of salt and sauté for around 2 minutes until golden. Add then the fresh broad beans and cook for around 3 minutes. Add then the rice, mix it all well so that each grain of rice is well coated with the olive oil, add the tomato passata, salt to taste and cover with the vegetable stock . Cook over low heat for about 15 minutes until the rice is cooked but a bit al dente. Depending on the variety of rice you use pay attention to the cooking time on the package instructions.
  3. Remove from the heat and serve hot.
