- 5 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 4 cups fresh Broad bean (shelled)
- ⅜ cup chicken stock

Preparation steps
1.
Heat the oil in a pot and fry the onions and garlic. Add the beans and quench with the chicken stock. Cover and cook for 30-40 minutes until the beans are soft. If necessary add some more stock.
2.
Towards the end of the cooking time remove 1/3 of the beans and puree the rest. Replace the whole beans in the puree and stir in the savory, Parmesan and the creme fraiche. Season with salt, ground black pepper and a dash of lemon juice.
3.
Drizzle the bread with olive oil and toast in a grill pan. Season the bean dip again, transfer to a bowl, sprinkle with ground black pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Serve the dip with the toast and the grated Parmesan.
