Fresh Broad Beans with Artichokes

 
 
 
We used the first broad beans from our garden to make this dish and there's nothing better than eating fresh vegetables picked from your own garden! This dish is ideally served with Greek strained yoghurt (see photo).
Ingredients
1kg fresh, tender broad beans in their pods
6 young, tender artichokes
4 medium potatoes cut into cubes
2 lemons cut in half
1 bunch chopped fennel
6 large leaves of fresh mint chopped
1 bunch spring onions with the leaves removed
1 clove fresh garlic
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Cut off the ends of the bean pods.

Place the beans in their pods in a large pan of boiling water and allow them to boil for 2 minutes.

Discard the outer leaves of the artichokes and rub the artichokes with the lemons.

Place the artichokes along with the used lemons in a bowl of cold water.

Place the beans and the artichokes along with the other ingredients in a covered, ceramic oven dish and add a cup of water.

Stir them well and bake them with the lid on in a pre-heated moderate oven for 1 hour.
