Answers:
Just sample one occasionally!. They don`t want over-cooking!. Fresh from the garden they are delicious - cook with new potatoes and bacon !.!.!.!.maybe with a little mint sauce!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

15 minutes in boiling water from frozen!. But it won`t spoil them if you cook them for longer!. Note for Hedge Witch, Broad Beans, not Runner Beans!. You don`t cut Broad Beans! O course if they are still in their pods, you have to shell them!. OMG!Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you boil them - 10 minutes max - steam them - maybe 15!.
They want to retain their colour & texture!.
Cut them diagonally to cook them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah about ten minute to fifteen minutes max in lightly boiling water!. Remember to add salt during cooking so they remain green and don't turn a greyish colour!. Delicious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
