VEGGIE TALES #1: SMASHED BROAD BEANS ON TOAST

This summer thanks to support from the Community Foundation Wales, we are running a 5-part family cooking series in the garden.

Sessions are coordinated by Steph, a dietitian, gardener and plant-based chef and harvest coordinator, Vaida.

In the first session, we harvested broad beans from the garden and made this simple yet delicious recipe.

·Salt (pinch, add to taste)

·Lime (juice of half, add to taste)
