Broad bean & goat's cheese bruschetta

Broad bean & goat's cheese bruschetta

Mint, broad beans and goat’s cheese are a classic combination for good reason
but peas or sautéed greens also work a treat. Use a bowl and rolling pin or the end of a bottle to crush the broad beans if there’s no pestle and mortar available.
