About the recipe

Grilling broad beans in their pods is a great way to amplify their natural flavour. You’ll end up with gnarly, blackened pods that you can burst open to reveal perfectly steamed, elegant beans inside. Teamed with a super-quick chilli salt, you can’t go wrong.

Top Tip

Get yourself a chimney barbecue starter or barbecue flume to prelight your coals, it's a much quicker and efficient way to get (and keep) your coals hot.

Method

  1. Prepare the barbecue (see tip).
  2. Peel the garlic, slice the red chilli and place in a pestle and mortar. Strip in the rosemary leaves and bash to a paste, then finely grate in the lemon zest, add 2 tablespoons of the sea salt and grind together. Add the remaining salt, mixing until combined, then transfer most of the flavoured salt to a lined tray and leave to dry out for at least 2 hours or overnight. Once dry, bash it up into pieces – it’ll keep happily in an airtight jar for up to 1 week.
  3. Place the broad beans on the barbecue over direct heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until lightly charred, turning halfway, then transfer to a board.
  4. Drizzle the beans with olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of the flavoured salt and toss together. Bring to the table and let everyone bust open their own pods – the rosemary and chilli salt will stick to your fingers and perfectly season the beans inside.
