About

After years of being labelled the bad-cholesterol villain, I’m glad to say that the humble egg has at last been given a clean bill of health, and we can now eat eggs without guilt. To be honest, I never stopped.

Method

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan over a medium-low heat. Add the sliced onion, along with a good pinch of salt, and fry gently until soft and slightly golden. Add the garlic and parsley and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the broad beans. Co
