Algerian Broad Beans & Garlic ( Fèves En Sauce ) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 kg broad bean, in the pod
    1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (coriander)
    6 garlic cloves
    3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne
    1/8 teaspoon black pepper
    salt (1/2 tsp minimum)
    1 - 1 1/2 teaspoon vinegar
    600 ml water
Preparation
    Top & tail the bean then remove the strings. Leave the beans in their pod. Cut into bitesize pieces - approx 1\" long.
    Peel & mince the garlic & place in a large, heavy bottomed pan (I like to use my Le Creuset Casserole / Dutch Oven) with the beans. Saute for 2 minutes.
    Add the rest of the ingredients, cover & simmer until beans are tender - approx 25-30 minutes. Once the beans are tender, reduce the sauce to your prefered thickness & mix in the vinegar.
