When broad beans are out of season this dip works well made with peas. A combination of the two is great too. Add some very thinly sliced prosciutto for a meaty element – the saltiness works well with the lemony freshness of the dip.

Method

Main

1.Preheat oven to 200C. For garlic and lemon crostini, combine oil and lemon rind in a bowl, season to taste. Place bread in a single layer on oven trays, drizzle with oil mixture, turn and repeat. Bake, turning once, until golden and crisp (4-6 minutes), then rub with cut-side of garlic and cool to room temperature. Makes 24. Garlic and lemon crostini will keep stored in an airtight container for 1 week.

2.Blanch broad beans until just tender (1-2 minutes), then refresh. Drain, remove skins (discard), combine in a food processor with onion and garlic and pulse until coarsely crushed. Transfer to a bowl, stir in oils, mint, lemon rind and juice, season to taste and serve with garlic and lemon crostini.
