Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups (200g) fresh or frozen broad beans
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon (20ml) olive oil
  • ½ cup (100g) firm feta, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

Tortilla Triangles

  • 4 white corn or flour tortilla

Instructions

  1. For tortilla triangles, preheat oven to 220°C (200 °C fan-forced) and line a baking tray with paper. Cut each tortilla into six wedges and place on prepared tray. Brush lightly with oil and season with salt.  Bake for eight to ten minutes or until browned and crisp.

  3. Combine peeled broad beans with garlic and olive oil in a medium bowl. Using a potato masher, gently smash to a rough puree.  Stir through feta, mint and zest and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. To serve, spoon broad bean mixture onto tortilla triangles. Serve immediately.
