From The Independent Online, I think I may prefer it to chickpea hummous, but then I am a real broad bean fan...

Ingredients
Switch to Cup Measures- 600 grams broad beans (weight of fresh (shelled) or frozen)
- 7 cloves garlic (peeled and roughly chopped)
- 100 ml water
- 2 small lemons (juice of)
- 120 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
- salt
- freshly ground pepper
- extra virgin olive oil (for serving)
- 1 sprig fresh coriander
Method
- Put the broad beans into a pan with the garlic cloves and about 100ml of water, cover, season the pan and cook the beans slowly for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove them from the heat and leave to cool a little.
- A good-quality jug liquidiser produces the best humous, otherwise use a food processor. Spoon half of the broad beans into the blender or processor with half the cooking liquid and process on a high speed, stopping the machine occasionally to stir the mix and scrape the sides of the jug.
- When the beans are fairly well blended leave the machine running and pour in half of the lemon juice, then slowly add half the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of tahini. Again you will need to stop the machine every so often to scrape the sides of the jug.
- The humous should be a thick pouring consistency when it's still warm from the machine. Transfer the humous into a bowl, season to taste and add a little more lemon juice if necessary. Repeat with the other half of the broad beans, lemon juice, oil and tahini. Leave in a covered bowl at room temperature until required. deeeelicious
