This simple yet flavorful dish is sure to impress your family and friends. In this blog post, we will guide you through the steps of cooking dried broad beans the Sardinian way. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 500 grams of dried broad beans
  • 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Soaking the Dried Broad Beans

Place the dried broad beans in a large bowl and cover them with water. Allow them to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. This will help soften the beans and reduce cooking time.

Step 2: Cooking the Broad Beans

Drain the soaked broad beans and rinse them under cold water. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until they become translucent and fragrant.

Add the chopped tomatoes, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and let the flavors meld together for a few minutes. Then, add the dried broad beans to the pot and cover them with enough water to submerge them completely.

Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the beans simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they become tender. Make sure to check the pot occasionally and add more water if necessary.

Step 3: Finishing Touches

Once the broad beans are cooked to perfection, remove the pot from the heat. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the beans and give them a gentle stir. The fresh parsley will add a pop of color and a fresh taste to the dish.

Serving Suggestions

Sardinian-style dried broad beans can be enjoyed in various ways. They make a fantastic side dish to accompany roasted meats or grilled vegetables. You can also serve them as a vegetarian main course, accompanied by a slice of crusty bread and a simple green salad.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even try adding some Sardinian pecorino cheese or a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil on top of the cooked broad beans for an extra layer of flavor.
