Raw they're bitter — quinolizidine alkaloids, days of soaking and rinsing — so buy them brined, rinse them, pop them out of their skins, and hit them with olive oil, lemon and far more black pepper than feels reasonable. Two cautions I won't bury: lupin is a recognized allergen with real cross-reactivity to peanut, so if peanuts are a problem in your house then this is too. And the ornamental lupines in the flower bed are a different species and genuinely toxic. 2/3
