One dish that did catch my eye, however, was this lovely broad bean and smoked goats cheese bruschetta.
Shortly after I watched the program, I found myself standing in front of the Artisan Smokehouse market stall, and was able to buy some smoked goats cheese. I knew the bruschetta could become a reality.
I couldn't get fresh, local broad beans, and I don't like frozen ones, so I made it with frozen peas instead. I toasted slices of sourdough, then rubbed them with a clove of garlic and drizzled with a little olive oil. I piled on my pea puree and topped it with crumbles of the lovely smoked cheese. A grinding of black pepper and lunch was ready.

I would love those bruschettas for lunch! They look so inviting with smoked cheese!
Nothing I like better than smashed peas! I could eat a dishful of them. Love that you've paired them with smoked gouda. This is lunch for me!
That did look great when they made it, and I love the idea of your interpretation using peas.
I kind of feel like you do, that we are in Autumn coming into winter and it has been a lot of summer veg. I would like to give a meat-free BBQ ago!
Yum, what a fun and delicious looking bruschetta! love the bright green color with the white!
Angie - they were good. I must make it again!
Barbara - I should make them more often as a side dish.
James - Didn't those tumbled barbecued potatoes they did look amazing?
Sucre Farine - Thanks!
Oh I bet that was delicious, I love pee puree - much nicer than broad beans and your photograph looks most inviting. I've wanted to watch the latest HFW series, but can't seem to get channel 4 equivalent of iplayer to work properly these days - very frustrating.
Looks so yummy! I so want to try!
Choclette - 4oD is pretty hit & miss for me too.
Nicole - thanks for visiting!
The color of the pea puree is truly lovely. I couldn't get to the recipe page (will try later: the site seems to be having some problems) so I am wondering if the ingredients would work the same using dried fava beans instead.
how good are peas?? i love the way you've used them here. and that cheese looks so crumbly and delish.
Simona - the flavours would work well with dried fava beans, although I would say you'd need to add some fresh herbs, or some lemon juice, to brighten it.
Camilla - thanks for stopping by!
Mmm... this looks perfect--especially with that smoked cheese. I hope they import the show here someday. ;-)
