Mehmet's Broad Beans image

This recipe has a most romantic source. A few years ago my husband and I chartered a small gulet to explore the coast of Turkey. Our captain, cook and guide was Mehmet. We moved around the Gulf of Fethiye, looking at ruins and swimming by day, mooring each night in a different place. One night, Mehmet cooked these beans and gave me the recipe. I'm very happy that I can share it with you.

Mehmet's broad beans were okay. The beans were a bit tough, but the sauce was flavorful. I would probably make this recipe again, but I would adjust the cooking time for the beans.

Mehmet's broad beans were a bit of a disappointment. The beans were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover broad beans. The beans are tender and the sauce is flavorful. I added a bit of extra lemon juice and it was perfect.
