      I love them .... sadly, neither my wife or my children eat them ..

      the only way I cook them is to steam them, then add salt/pepper and a dressing of lemon and extra virgin olive oil (greek style)... and a few sprigs of parsley for 'ornamental purposes'

      have cooked them with pork chops and a lemoney sauce aswell, but my family never enjoyed that either

      I also often buy a can of butter beans (in brine) ... drain them off ... mash them (or put them in a blender) ... add the juice of half a lemon and loads of extra virgin olive oil ... salt and fresh ground black pepper ... and a crushed clove of fresh garlic ... mix it up well ...

      none of my family enjoy this either ... good cheap bachelor food though

          Brown marks on broad beans (the actual unripe seed).
