Crushed Broad Bean Bruschetta

On a weekend morning, there is nothing better than waking up. Going into my fresher and bailing out some broad beans and making a bruschetta, as I have my cup of tea. A Crushed Broad Bean Bruschetta set me up for the day and makes a wonderful enriching starter or snack.  I love the vibrant colours of the crushed peeled broad beans. Don’t discard the shell of bean themselves as they can sautéed instead. Crushed Broad Bean Bruschetta makes a great addition to summer’s day.
