Recipe: Simon Toohey
Directions
-
Step 1
Toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds over low heat.
-
Step 2
Add rehydrated broad beans, butter beans, garlic, olive oil, fresh broad beans, juice of 1.5 lemons, oregano, half the parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Lightly warm through, making sure not to boil the mixture.
-
Step 3
In the meantime, drizzle a little olive oil over a few slices of bread (one for each serving) and place them all in a pan to crisp up on both sides.
-
Step 4
Then place a slice of bread at the bottom of each serving bowl. Spoon over the bean mixture, including a nice amount of liquid. Finish with the remaining fresh parsley and the remaining lemon juice.
