Koukia calls for broad beans, olive oil, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and spring onions, as well as sugar, salt, pepper and dill to taste. The broad beans are cleaned and washed in water while the oil is heated and the onions are roasted in it. The beans and all of the other ingredients are added, along with a little water, and they are all cooked until the entire dish is soft. This is a great dish to serve either on its own or with a side order of pita bread, which can bring out the complexity of the tastes that are involved. Typically, broad beans, no matter what the variety are eaten while they are young and tender, and though they can certainly be eaten while lightly steamed and soft, they can also be fried.

You can also serve them a s a complement to a special event or as a side dish to bring out the flavor of a more bland offering.
