Fava Bean and Avocado Bruschetta
 
 
Author:
Recipe type: Appetizer/Snack
Ingredients
  • Whole-wheat baguette, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 1 cup cooked and shelled fava beans (you can use lima beans if fava beans are not in season)
  • 2 small garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • ¼ cup mashed avocado
  • ¼ cup grated Pecorino-Romano cheese
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil
Instructions
  1. Extricate the fava beans from their pods, pop them into a small pot of boiling water for 30 seconds, rinse with cold water and then shell. I hate shelling beans but these were actually really easy.
  2. Mix the fava beans, garlic, salt, basil, avocado, and cheese in a small bowl.
  3. Toast or broil the bread slices until they are golden brown and starting to crisp.
  4. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the fava bean mixture onto each bread slice. Top each bruschetta with a sprinkle of grated cheese and a dash of olive oil.
