Garden Pea & Mint Bruschetta

 

 

Fresh, summery and full of green goodness. This bruschetta is a delicious brunch option for two; great topped with a poached egg or crispy streaky bacon. If you want to serve this as a canape simply use slices of baguette or crostini and top with a teaspoon of pea dip.

 

Serves 2

Cooking time: 10 minutes

 

Ingredients

  

350g garden peas, podded

2 slices of French Country sourdough, toasted

½ clove of garlic

2 tbsp olive oil

Squeeze of lemon juice

Large handful mint leaves, torn or chopped

A little grated Wyfe of Bath Cheese to top (optional)

 

Method

1. Place the podded peas into a pan with enough cold water to just cover the peas, bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes until sweet and tender. Drain and leave to cool a little.
2. Use a potato masher to smash the peas along with the lemon juice, olive oil, ¾ of the mint and seasoning.
3. Rub the toasted sourdough with the cut end of the garlic clove to impart a little of the flavour, drizzle with a little olive oil and load on the pea and mint dip.
4. Sprinkle with the nutty Wyfe of Bath cheese and serve.
