INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Rinse the soaked beans and put them to boil for about an hour, salt only at the end. Or cook them in a pressure cooker covered with lightly salted water for 30 minutes. Keep the broth.
  2. Cover the chestnuts with salt water and boil for 30 minutes (check the cooking). Then peel while still hot. Set aside their broth too.
  3. Finely chop the shallots and the garlic, then fry in a pan for about 2 minutes with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the chopped chili, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Gently chop the chestnuts with a knife and add them to the pan along with the drained beans and the broccoli florets. Add salt and cook for 2-3 minutes. At this point cover everything with a flush of the chestnuts and beans cooking water or vegetable stock. Bring to a boil and continue for another ten poor minutes or until the broccoli will be cooked.
