Ingredients

  • 150g frozen or fresh broad beans
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tbsp mascarpone
  • 130g chargrilled artichokes, drained
  • 1 unwaxed lemon, zested and juice of ½, plus extra juice to taste
  • 3 tbsp parmesan (or vegetarian Italian hard cheese), finely grated
  • 1 drizzle olive oil
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
  • 1 handful basil leaves, to garnish

Method

Step 1

Place the broad beans and asparagus in boiling water for 3-5 mins, until just tender, then plunge into a bowl of ice-cold water. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Toast the sourdough.

Step 3

Put the beans in a food processor (pop the beans out of their skins if you tend to find them tough), then add the mascarpone, artichokes, lemon zest, juice of ½ lemon, parmesan, olive oil and some pepper. Blend, seasoning to taste. The mixture should be chunky but if you prefer it smooth, add a little more lemon juice and/or water and pulse again.

Step 4

Spread the mixture between the 2 slices of toast, top with the asparagus and garnish with the toasted pine nuts and basil.
