Preparation:   

Preparation time: 10 mins

Cooking time: 15 mins

Serving: 18

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked peas
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil plus extra to taste
• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• black pepper to taste
• 1 large crusty baguette yielding approx 18-20 slices
• 1-2 TBSP melted butter or olive oil
• 1/4-1/2 cup chopped tomato
• 1/4-1/2 cup chopped avocado
• 1-2 TBSP fresh parsley
• A drizzle of olive oil and vinegar to taste

  Awesome Extras

• Parsley or baby arugula to garnish
• Sweet balsamic glaze for topping

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cook peas via your favorite method and combine with garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper in a food processor.
3. Pour in olive oil as you blend until desired consistency is reached. After 1/3 cup I was good to go!
4. Next chop avocado, tomato, and fresh parsley and toss together. Drizzle with olive oil and a teeny bit of your favorite vinegar [optional] as well as a tiny pinch of salt and toss to coat.
5. Slice your baguette and brush each side lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
6. Arrange flat on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden and crispy. You can underbake for slightly chewy crostini or toast a bit longer for extra crunch; both ways are delicious!
7. Allow toasts to cool a bit, then top with pea puree and your avocado/tomato mixture.
