Spring greens and fetta bruschetta

Step 1

Cook asparagus in a medium saucepan of boiling water for 2 minutes. Add beans and peas; simmer for 2 minutes. Drain; refresh in a bowl of iced water. Drain well.

Step 4

Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat; cook garlic for 1 minute. Add asparagus, beans and peas; cook for 1 minute or until hot. Stir in juice just before serving; season to taste.

Step 5

Spoon vegetable mixture onto toasted bread; top with fetta, mint and rind.
