- Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the broad beans and cook for minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Shell the beans and discard the skins.
- Put the broad beans into a bowl and crush with a potato masher until mashed but still retaining some texture. Stir in the lemon juice, olive oil, mint and salt and pepper. (Alternatively, put the beans and the other ingredients into a food processor and whizz for a few seconds until it reaches the desired consistency.) Taste and adjust the seasoning.
