Peas on Toast

Serves 2

• 200g frozen peas (or a mixture of peas and chickpeas/butterbeans)

• 1 small glove garlic, grated

• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 1/2 tsp ground cumin

• 2-3 tbsp finely chopped fresh herbs (basil, mint, parsley, chives, dill all work well - whatever you have available)

• Juice and zest of 1 lemon

• Plenty of salt and pepper

• 2-4 slices of your favourite bread (depending on how hungry you are)

Additional extras:

• Crumbled feta

• Crispy bacon

• Eggs your way

• Chilli flakes

• Toasted nuts and seeds

• Dukkah spice mix

Method: 

1. Allow the peas to defrost completely, or lightly steam until tender.

2. In a food processor, combine the peas (and chickpeas if using), garlic, salt and pepper, oil and lemon - blitz into a rough mash.

3. Transfer into a bowl and add the fresh herbs - reserving some for a garnish.

4. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt, pepper and lemon if needed.

5. Toast your bread and begin cooking any of your additional extras.

6. Plate up - load up your toast with a generous mound of smashed pea mix, lots of fresh herbs, your choice of extras and maybe a final drizzle of olive oil.
