Ingredients

  • 1 baguette cut into 1/4” slices
  • 1 clove garlic halved
  • 2 1/2 cups fresh peas or frozen
  • 1/3 cup olive oil + extra for brushing the bread
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2-3 mint leaves torn

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of your bread slices with the olive oil and cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer the bread to a cutting board and rub each piece with the cut sides of the garlic.
  2. Blanch peas in a pot of boiling salted water, just until tender, approximately 1 minute for frozen peas and 2 minutes for fresh. Drain well.
  3. Transfer the peas to the bowl of a food processor and add the olive oil, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and mint leaves. Pulse until the purée reaches the desired consistency. For a chunkier spread it will only need five or six turns in the processor, for a smoother one 10-12 pulses should be enough.
  4. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the pea purée over each toast. Garnish with additional Parmesan, torn mint leaves, and sea salt, if desired.
