Ingredienti

for 4 people

  • 4 g dried hulled broad beans
  • a kilo of field chicory
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt

Before preparing the dish, the beans must be soaked for 12 hours, then drained and cooked in salted water, over a low heat for about 2 hours, until they have the consistency of a puree. In the meantime, boil the chicory in salted water.

We recommend plating the dish by spreading the beans in the dish with the chicory on top and finishing it off with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
