Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Pea Bruschetta
  1. Prepare Pea Topping: In a food processor, combine frozen peas, optional pea shoots, grated parmesan, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Pulse until a rough paste forms, leaving some small chunks of peas for texture.
  2. Toast Bread: Preheat broiler to high. Slice ciabatta into even pieces, drizzle with olive oil, and broil for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Flavor Bread: While bread is warm, rub half a clove of garlic over each slice for fragrant flavor.
  4. Assemble Bruschetta: Spread pea topping on toasted ciabatta slices, sprinkle with extra parmesan, lemon zest, and pea shoots. Drizzle with olive oil and finish with black pepper.
