Broad Bean and Goats Cheese Bruschetta
Enjoy!

- 500 g broad beans, in the pod
- 75 g goats cheese soft (spreadable)
- 2 tbps lemon juice
- salt & pepper
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 clove garlic sliced in half
Remove the broad beans from the pods.
Plunge the beans into boiling water and simmer for 3-4 minutes, then drain and put aside until cool enough to handle.
Meanwhile, toast a couple of slices of sourdough bread on a griddle pan or BBQ.
Rub the toast with a cut garlic clove and drizzle with olive oil.
Tear the broad been 'skin' and plop out the bright green, shiny beans from inside.
Mash these together with the goats cheese, lemon juice and salt & pepper using a potato masher or fork.
Scoop onto the toasted sourdough and sprinkle with a little more black pepper.
Serve with a wedge of lemon and a side salad.

I’ve had something VERY simillar with peas instead of broad beans. I LOVE broad beans though and wondering why I’ve never made this before. I know I will love it :)

Ooh yes, peas would be a great substitute!

Love broad beans and they make a brilliant dip. I’ve never tried making one with goat’s cheese. Sounds delicious.
Jane Sarchet says
Thanks Choccy! They do go rather well with goats cheese :)

I must admit to not being a huge fan of broad beans. Possibly because I’m too impatient to double shell them. But this looks delicious!
Jane Sarchet says
They have always been one of my least favourite veggies Claire, but happily the goats cheese makes them a lot more palatable :)

I love the idea of mashing the beans and cheese together, I will have to try that!
