Arugula and Fava-Bean Crostini { Recipe }

by Penny on May 11, 2009

When I saw this recipe in the latest issue of Gourmet, I knew I had to make it. It looked so green and fresh and delicious! And, it was!

I replaced the favas with edamame but otherwise stuck to the recipe. I have some left over and will be using it tonight tossed with fresh ricotta gnocchi (I have a lump of dough defrosting in the fridge). I think I will add some finely minced garlic to give it an added kick.

If you’re after an awesome, light and fresh appetizer for your next spring/summer party, look no further.

Oh yum. That looks fantastic. I love fresh fava beans.

Mmmm I am growing scads of arugula and mint in my garden right now and was just contemplating how much salad I’ll be forced to eat in about two weeks. This is a great way to use up some of my fresh grown leafies.

JD, yeah we also had a TON of arugula, and my plan is to use the left over mint for mojitos!
