Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil plus extra to serve
- 2 lices bread
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 1 cup 150g podded broad beans (podded, blanched, cooled and peeled)
- ½ a ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon finely grated pecorino or parmesan plus extra to garnish
- 1 teaspoon fresh mint leaves chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Brush one side of each slice of bread with the oil, then rub the garlic clove over them.
- Heat a grill pan (or frying pan), and place into the pan, oil/garlic side of each slice down, and cook until lightly toasted.
- Meanwhile, add the broad beans (fava beans), avocado, lemon juice and pecorino into a bowl and lightly mash. You still want texture, so don’t mash to a puree.
- Pile the mixture onto the toast, then top with mint and parsley leaves and a little pecorino and season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little oil.
Notes
- Make sure your avocado is ripe before mashing it into the mix. This will help keep an even texture.
- Taste the bruschetta once it’s mixed and adjust seasonings as necessary.
- If it’s too thick, you can add more ripe avocado.
- Make sure you peel the skins off of the broad beans as the skin can be tough and is not suitable for bruschetta.
- When mixing, make sure you don’t mix fully as it is supposed to have a chunky texture.
- Mini Baked Potatoes
- for a fun fresh appetizer.
- Yeast Free Naan Bread
- for a twist on toast.
- Vegetable Collard Green Wrap
- or on a
- Roasted Vegetable Sandwich
- .
- Variations
- Switch up the fresh herbs and fresh oregano or basil to the bruschetta.
- Add a unique citrus flavor by using lime instead of lemon.
- Drizzle the bruschetta toasts with honey for a sweet and savory dish.
- Add some spice by sprinkling with a touch of red chili flake.
