We had some leftover bread from a barbecue on the weekend. Basic white rolls, that lost all their freshness overnight, so I'm turning them into pangritata.

I love this Southern Italian trick, often used as a replacement for parmesan and other cheeses. Stale bread crumbs are mixed together with a few flavours and then quickly pan-fried until golden and crispy. It's tasty and crunchy, and a delicious contrast to the smoothness of pasta and risotto.

Together with the stale bread in this version I'm using new season garlic, dried oregano, together with some of the oil from a jar of preserved lemons.

06 September 2011 ,13:24 Using broad beans - some recipes

By Kathryn Elliott

Each week I get a vegetable box. It's a mixture of in-season, local fruit and vegetables. It's one of the strategies I use to make it easier to eat well - basically if there are vegies in the house, I'm much more likely to cook a good meal at the end of the day.

As I mentioned last week, my latest vegie box included a small bag of broad beans. While these beans are a bit fiddly to prepare, they're absolutely delicious and most definitely worth the effort. I'm going to add my broad beans to a risotto, something like this spring vegetable risotto. However there are many other ways you can use them:

Why not try this simple and light p asta with chicken, mustard and mint from Sophie at Mostly Eating?
Jamie Oliver has a gorgeous Moroccan style b road bean salad with yoghurt which I've made on a number of occasions
This side dish really is the taste of Spring - grilled asparagus with broad bean puree from Jules at The Stonesoup.
I've also been eyeing off Nigel Slater's broad bean, basil and lettuce soup.
Here's a lovely broad bean and couscous salad with mint, feta and olives

Do you have a favourite way of using broad beans?
