Method

  • step 1

    Cook the broad beans in boiling water for 2 mins. Drain, refresh under cold water, drain again, then peel from their skins.

  • step 2

    Use a masher to roughly crush the beans with the olive oil and lemon juice, then stir through the mint. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • step 3

    Heat a griddle pan, toast the bread on both sides, then rub with the garlic clove. Spoon some of the beans over each slice of bread, scatter over the pecorino and drizzle with more olive oil to serve.

Handy if you have a bag of frozen peas or beans or whatever! Paired it with salad for a full on brunch.

One of my all-time favourite brunches, although this recipe isn't very clear. The podding does take a while but it's totally worth it in the end.

Absolutely not quick. You have to cook the beans for a lot more than 2 minutes to get their skins off. Spent bleedin' ages peeling beans! Would probably be much better with tinned beans or peas.

Delicious, super easy & quick. I used tinned broad beans which worked well and less fiddly. Don't skimp on garlic or lemon juice.
