Sandwich preparation with pecorino cheese, broad bean purée and fresh mint

Drain the broad beans, rinse them under cold running water, then place them in the blender glass together with half a spoonful of oil. Add a little lemon juice and zest, season with salt and pepper and blend everything to obtain a cream. Cut the cheese about two millimeters thick and remove the rind. Spread the broad bean puree on one of the slices of bread and spread the cheese on top of it. Complete with the mint leaves, drizzle with a drizzle of oil, cover with the remaining bread, and serve.

What remains of the lemon zest and juice is ideal for creating a citronette with which to season grilled or steamed meat, fish or vegetables or to enrich juices, shakes, extracts and smoothies.
