Oh friends. I have discovered a strangely addictive snack. I passed by these bags of salty gems countless times in the grocery, but I never purchased them because I thought they looked like they could be insects. My friend finally made me eat one the other day, promising me that there was nothing remotely insect-y about this food item.
Fried broad beans. They are crunchy and salty and starchy like potato chips, but I trick myself into thinking they are sort of healthy because of the protein and fiber. They remind me a little of roasted chick peas, and apparently they are popular in the Middle East and Peru as well.
Tyler, new job for you. Go to Uwajimaya and find me some Chinese style fried broad beans, yes?
