Broad bean coconut sambal

Thanks to chef Emily Dobbs for this recipe for a fresh summer side dish to complement a curry.

Method 

Pod the broad beans and set aside. If using dried coconut, soak in 50ml cold water. Pound the garlic and ginger into a paste with salt in a pestle and mortar, then add the fresh broad beans, coconut and coriander. Finish with lime juice.
