Rocket and Fava-Bean Crostini

Ingredients for Rocket and Fava-Bean Crostini

• 240ml shelled fresh fava beans (575g in pods) or shelled fresh or frozen edamame (soybeans

• 350g in pods)

• 60ml plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus additional for drizzling

• 1 1/2 cups packed baby rocket (45g), divided

• 3 tablespoons grated Pecorino Toscano or Parmigiano-Reggiano

• 1/4 teaspoons grated lemon zest

• 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

• 1 baguette

• 1 garlic clove, halved crosswise

• 16 mint leaves

Preheat oven to 177°C with rack in middle.

Cook fava beans in boiling water, uncovered, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Gently peel off skins (if using edamame, don't peel).

Pulse fava beans in a food processor until very coarsely chopped, then transfer half of mixture to a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup oil, 1/2 cup rocket, cheese, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/8 teaspoons pepper to favas in processor and purée until smooth. Add to bowl. Coarsely chop remaining cup rocket and gently fold into fava-bean mixture.

Cut 16 diagonal slices (1/3 inch thick) from baguette and put in a 4-sided sheet pan. Drizzle with remaining tablespoon oil. Bake until pale golden and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Rub with cut side of garlic.

Spoon fava-bean mixture onto baguette toasts, then drizzle with oil and top with mint.
