Green Bruschetta with Broad Beans, Spinach and Halloumi




Ingredients:

2 thick slices of good bread (I prefer sourdough but any is fine)
1 handful fresh spinach leaves (washed and torn)
2 ripe tomatoes (roughly chopped)
1 handful broad beans (podded and skinned if necessary)
wedge halloumi or feta cheese (crumbled or chopped roughly)
2 cloves garlic (peeled and chopped in half)
olive oil (for frying)
zest of one unwaxed lemon
1 ripe avocado
Warm the oil in a frying pan and add the lemon zest, add the spinach and broad beans followed by the tomatoes, if using halloumi break it up into little pieces and add to the pan, cook for about 5 minutes making sure nothing sticks.
While that's gently cooking toast the bread and then rub both slices with the cloves of garlic, be generous and don't worry if the garlic breaks up onto the rough bread, it will taste amazing. Divide the avocado between the two slices and spread on generously, season with a little salt.
Pile the spinach mixture onto the toast and drizzle with any oil left in the pan. If you're using feta crumble this on the top of the spinach mixture. Season and eat straightaway. Ha! Like you would be able to stop yourself.
