Ingredients

1 cup peeled broad beans, can be from frozen (160g)

1/2 red onion, finely diced

2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 an avocado

pepper, finely ground

1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

1.To peel broad beans, pinch one end of the seed pod with finger tips to rip open and press the other end of the pod until the bright green bean pops out. Peel a few extra to garnish the dip with. Place into a bowl and discard the grey casing.

2.Tip the green beans into the bowl of a blender or food processor. Blitz until finely cut, add diced onion and blitz again. Turn blender on, adding the olive oil through the top of the machine (as you would when making a mayonnaise). Add the lemon juice and blend until combined.

3.Scoop the ripe avocado pulp into the blender bowl and season well with pepper and salt. Blitz again until well combined. Tip into a small bowl, sprinkling a few beans on top, and drizzle with olive oil.

4.Grind pepper on top to taste and serve alongside your bowl of Copper Kettle Special Reserve Wagyu Beef & Wasabi Cream.

If you don’t have a blender you can make this in a mortar and pestle. Simply grind the beans up until smooth, add onion and mix into beans. Pour oil and lemon juice in, a little at a time. Season to taste with pepper and salt. And, you can buy the broad beans frozen at your local supermarket! - Serve dip in rustic bowls in earthy tones alongside chips on top of a chopping board. We used a wooden dip bowl from Citta Design and chopping board from Farmers. – Prepare your palate before your evening meal with other flavours in the Copper Kettle Special Reserve range: Creamy Saffron & Sage and Champagne Vinaigrette & Shallot.
