Notes
Dry broad bean puree has many possible consistencies. They may vary from a soup like dish to a firm, mashed potato like texture. There is no wrong or right here, it is up to you. Store your dry broad beans in a container and make sure you never run out. They are a welcome surprise in times of despair. Macco goes very well with bitter vegetables such as chicory or endive. Remarkable well paired with Belgian endive.Serve your macco straight after cooking. The starch tends to set when cooling down. Legumes are an excellent source of protein and fiber. Health on a plate, especially when topped of with good olive oil.
