Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the broad beans. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until tender.
- Drain and immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to cool. This will help maintain their bright green color.
- Once cooled, drain again and remove the outer skins if they are tough.
- In a bowl, combine the broad beans with the ricotta cheese.
- Add the lemon zest and chopped chives.
- Mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher until you achieve a chunky, yet spreadable consistency.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix your preferred spices. This could include a mixture of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, and a bit of salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil.
- Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until scrambled and just set. Remove from heat.
- Brush each slice of white bread with olive oil.
- Place the slices under a preheated broiler or in a toaster oven until golden brown and crispy.
- Spread a generous amount of the broad bean mash onto each toasted bread slice.
- Top each slice with a portion of scrambled eggs.
- Lay thin slices of smoked salmon over the eggs.
- Sprinkle the remaining chopped dill over the top.
- Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and garnish with any additional lemon zest or chives if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Broad Bean Smash and Smoked Salmon on Bruschetta!
Tips:
- Ensure the broad beans are thoroughly cooked and mashed to achieve a smooth consistency.
- For a burst of freshness, garnish the dish with extra chives and dill before serving.
- To save time, you can use pre-shelled and cooked broad beans available in most supermarkets.
- Lightly toast the bread slices to give them a crispy texture that complements the creamy broad bean smash and smoked salmon.
- Experiment with different types of bread such as sourdough or whole grain for added flavor and nutrition.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the broad bean mixture.
- Serve the bruschetta immediately after assembling to keep the bread crisp and avoid sogginess.
