Broad Beans and Bacon

A really easy Broad Bean recipie which I just had for tea!
Our beans are quite large now and really need eating up, so I went out and picked a fair few and made this. (I cooked my bacon yesterday, I just cooked the whole pack, knowing that I’d eat it at some point over the weekend.)

For me I did:
Broad beans (I did about half a cereal bowl of beans, it was about two big handfuls of pods)
Boiling
Bacon (cooked)
Olive oil
Mint
Chives

This is how I actually did it!
Picked the beans and podded them into a bowl, poured over water (just boiled the kettle whilst podding). thought oh mint would be nice and popped outside to find some, ripped it up and stirred it in.
Left the beans in the minty water for a couple of minutes then drained it all and put it in a bowl, with a pair of scissors cut chives over the top, the put some oil on, then with the same scissors cut up the bacon over the top.
Stir again, eat… tasty

My big worry was that the beans were so varied in size that some might not be ‘cooked’ but as they were all really fresh it didn’t really seem to matter.
