Broad Bean Bliss

Broad beans from a friend's allotment. Fried some bacon, then boiled the beans in the bacon pan for just 5 minutes, and added to a dressing of garlic crushed in salt, lots of lemon juice, mustard powder, olive oil and black pepper. Chopped some lettuce, rocket and spring onions from the garden, then tossed it all together. (Inspired by Delia.)

Sat at a table with some of those I love most, and a glass of Sicilian Red, listening to Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Pause and savour...
