- ½ tsp each paprika and ground cumin
- 150ml (¼ pint) good vegetable or chicken stock

- 6 tbsp freshly chopped mixed herbs (such as parsley, coriander, chives, and mint)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
- Put the beans in a pan with the garlic, oil, saffron, if using, spices and the stock. Bring to a simmer, half-cover and cook for 10-12 mins.
- Cook the rice, according to pack instructions. Tip into a bowl.
- Add the beans with the stock left in the pan, then mix in the herbs and seasoning. Add some lemon juice, too, if you like. Top with rocket leaves.
1kg (2¼lb) fresh broad beans in their pods will yield about 425g (15oz) beans. They do look better if skinned after cooking.
