1 garlic clove, finely chopped
350g fresh or frozen peas

Blanch broad beans in boiling, salted water for 2 minutes or until just tender. Drain and refresh.

Place oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Cook onion and garlic, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until just softened. Add peas, wine, stock and bay leaves, then bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the beans and warm through. Season well, then stir through parsley. Transfer to a platter and serve with prosciutto on top.
