• Heat a splash of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the shallots for 3 minutes until golden. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in broad beans, dulse, and thyme; fry for 2 minutes.
• Deglaze with lemon juice and soy cream. Cover partially and simmer on low for 5 minutes until beans are tender.
