Preparing shelling beans

  • Shelling beans are tasty in soups and stews, and there is no need to soak before using. Most shelling beans need less than 30 minutes to cook for a melt-in-the-mouth texture.
  • After shelling, you can simmer the beans in a little water and olive oil, plus add some minced garlic for flavour. You can also include a couple of thinly sliced spring onions, as well as a few fresh herbs like parsley, rosemary, sage, or thyme.
  • The mixture can be added to summer stews or pasta, or eaten on their own as a delicious side dish.
  • Braising is also an option for an extra smooth taste.
