Good as broad beans are, they can occasionally be dry. However, this delicious garlic sauce counteracts that problem. If the broad beans are not young and small, they should be peeled individually. They will need to simmer for only 2 or 3 minutes in the garlic sauce. Frozen broad/fava beans are an acceptable substitute for fresh. Serve with a leek timbale, or any of the savoury pastries.
