Ingredients - makes 4 lunch sized bruschetta
Frozen peas, 2 handfuls
Pesto, 1 tbsp
A small handful fresh mint leaves
Salt and pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove of garlic
Zest of half a lemon, unwaxed if possible (see Hints and Tips)
50 g parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnishing
A baguette or ciabatta
Method
1. Place the peas and a couple of springs of mint in a saucepan and bring to the boil. As soon as the water boils, drain the peas and put in a bowl of iced water.
2. Once cool, drain the peas and mash with a fork until a bit broken up. Grate and add the parmesan cheese, the pesto, the mint leaves (torn), the zest of half the lemon, the seasoning, a glug of olive oil and mix.
4. Top the garlic side of the toast with the pea mixture, drizzle some olive oil on the top, then use a vegetable peeler to carve a few slices of parmesan and place on top.
You are now on a race against sogginess to munch, munch, munch!
