Garlic Flatbreads with Crushed Broad Beans and Goat’s Cheese Recipe
Makes 8
Ingredients:
6 garlic cloves, peeled
2 cups plain flour
3 tsp baking powder
⅓ cup olive oil, plus 2 tbsp
½ cup pecorino, finely grated
1 cup boiling water
2 tbsp lemon zest
3 cups broad beans, blanched and peeled
½ cup mint leaves
180g goat’s cheese
Method:
Preheat oven to 180°C. Wrap garlic in aluminium foil and roast for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Once cool, mash garlic into a paste.
Place flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons olive oil, pecorino, and garlic into a large bowl. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, add boiling water, and mix until well combined. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 8. Roll out each to a 1mm thickness.
Combine remaining oil and lemon zest, and use half the mixture to brush both sides of flatbreads.
Cook in batches on a preheated barbecue or grill pan over high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until charred and crisp.
Place broad beans, remaining lemon oil, and mint in a bowl and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper tossing, to combine.
Spread flatbread with goat’s cheese and top with broad-bean mixture.
Smart Tip:
Double pod, or double shell the broad beans to remove the tough outer skins, exposing the tender bright green beans.
