• Prep Time: 0hrs 15 mins
• Cooking Time: 1hrs 0 mins

Ingredients

• Bunch Fresh Coriander
• 1 cup full Rice - Basmati
• 1 Lemon
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch pepper
• 1-2 cups broad beans
• 3-4 cloves garlic

Method

Prepare all the ingredients - 1 x cup full of rice, freshly chopped coriander x 1 bunch, chopped cloves of garlic.

Put a generous portion of olive oil into a heavy-based pan, and add in your chopped garlic and all of the broad beans. Cook gently on the heat (low-medium). A delicious smell fills the room! If you like garlic, add some more.

Next, add in your cup of rice, along with sufficient water, and bring to the boil, before simmering gently on a low-ish heat over the next 1/2 hour or so.

Finally, add in lemon juice from fresh lemon.

Serve with whatever meal accompaniment you like. A delicious and healthy meal!
