Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

300g basmati rice
50g butter , plus extra to serve
1 onion , finely chopped
1 garlic clove , crushed
500ml vegetable stock
400g podded and skinned broad bean (about 1.6kg unpodded)
small pack of dill , chopped

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then soak in warm water for 5 mins and drain well. Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the onion and garlic. Sizzle everything for 8-10 mins until softened, but not coloured. Stir though the rice and pour over the stock. Cover, bring to the boil, then turn down heat to a minimum and cook the rice very slowly for 10 mins.
  • Lift the lid, and quickly scatter over the podded beans, then replace the lid. Turn up the heat and simmer for 5 mins until all the liquid is absorbed. Add the dill, give the rice a good stir and serve with extra butter melting through.
