Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F
- Cook peas via your favorite method and combine with garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper in a food processor.
- Pour in olive oil as you blend until desired consistency is reached. After 1/3 cup I was good to go!
- In a small bowl, combine ricotta, parmesan, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper to season.
- Fold ingredients together and set aside.
- Grab your garlic naan and bake directly on the rack for around 3-5 minutes or until the desired crispness is reached.
- Layer on the lemony ricotta then top with the pea puree.
- Garnish with lots of fresh baby arugula, balsamic glaze, freshly grated parmesan. If desired, pile on some tomatoes too! Enjoy!
- Serving these bad boys at a barbecue? You can also toast the flatbreads on the grill before piling on the toppings. Yum!
- Slice them into strips with a pizza cutter and serve them up appetizer style!
