Broad bean bruschetta w/ mint & peas
Serves 2
It is looking increasingly likely that I will never know how to pronounce Bruschetta correctly. And, much as I love her, I blame my Mum entirely for this personal failing.
I know technically it’s not her fault if I can’t remember how to say the word. In fact, a reasonable person might even argue that, as she continues to do her best to help me learn the correct pronunciation, this is really all on me. But you see, at some point in the last five years she informed me that I was getting it wrong then explained how to say it properly, and for the life of me the only information I managed to retain from that encounter was that I can’t say the word. I now find myself wedged - eternally - between the equally uncertain pronunciations of ‘bru-sket-ah’ and ‘bru-shet-ah’ and all I’m sure of is that I’m getting it wrong at least 50% of the time.
Despite my seeming inability to pronounce it reliably, I’m pleased to say I do cook it rather well. So here’s a novel take on an old favourite. This is my Broad Bean Bruhjskghetttaa with Mint and Peas.
