Broad Beans with Fennel

Put the dry broad beans in abundant water together with the fennel, salt and pepper. Cook (for about one hour), then puree. Arrange the slices of toasted bread in a tureen, after rubbing several times with a clove of garlic. Douse the slices of bread lightly with the cooking liquid from the broad beans and pour the puree on top. Dress with raw oil and a little more fennel.
