Instructions

  1. Shell the broad beans, and if they are large, slip off their thin skins after a brief blanch.
  2. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil, drop the beans in for 2 minutes, then transfer them to iced water.
  3. Drain them and dry them lightly.
  4. Shave the pecorino into curls using a vegetable peeler.
  5. Arrange the beans on a plate, top with the pecorino shavings and mint if you're using it.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil, season generously with pepper and serve at room temperature.

Variations and tips

Raw version. Very young broad beans can be served raw, simply shelled, with the pecorino.
