Horta me Fava from nikolaos.galerakis@gmail.com

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the broccoli stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces, and the borage. Boil for 8–10 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still holds its shape and the borage has softened and turned a muted, darker green. Drain well in a colander, pressing gently to remove excess water.

In the same pot over medium heat, add the pre-cooked fava beans and red kidney beans. Stir occasionally for 2–3 minutes until warmed through and steaming.

Transfer the drained greens to a serving plate, spoon the warmed beans over the top, and mix gently with a fork until combined.

Drizzle generously with olive oil and squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything. Season with a small pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper, then toss gently until the oil and lemon coat the greens and beans evenly.

Taste and adjust the lemon and salt as needed. Serve warm or let it come to room temperature — both work well. The dish keeps well and the flavours settle nicely as it cools.
