Broad have been cultivated for thousands of years and have a long history in Italian cuisine. One of the great proponents of their use was none other than Frederick II, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, who was known for his love of beans and his famous “Bean Feast.”

The recipe for beans in the style of Frederick II is a simple yet delicious one that highlights the flavors of fresh beans and a few key ingredients. Follow these steps to make this dish at home:

Ingredients:
– 1 pound of fresh broad beans (podded and blanched)
– 1/4 cup of olive oil
– 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
– 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary (chopped)
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

Instructions:

1. Start by blanching the fresh broad beans in a pot of boiling salted water for 1-2 minutes until they are tender. Remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and place them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once they are cool, remove the skin from each individual bean by gently pinching at the skin and popping the bean out.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant.

3. Add the skinned broad beans to the skillet and stir to coat them in the garlic-infused olive oil.

4. Sprinkle chopped fresh rosemary over the beans, followed by the salt and black pepper. Stir everything together and let the beans cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are heated all the way through.

5. Serve the broad beans hot as a side dish or combine them with other ingredients to create a full meal. They pair well with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.

This recipe for broad beans in the style of Frederick II may seem basic, but the flavors of the fresh beans and aromatic seasonings make for a dish that truly stands out. The addition of rosemary, a favorite herb of the Emperor himself, adds a depth of flavor that elevates the dish beyond a simple side dish. Give this recipe a try at your next dinner party or family gathering and impress your guests with a taste of ancient Italian cuisine.
