They call it Sweet- Pea Mash on Toast and it was very yummy. Only complaint, I was expecting it to make way more than it did, so next time double or triple it!
Ingredients are:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen sweet peas
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 French-style baguette
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
Look what I used to to mash the peas, this Salsa Master (an as seen on TV product) that my mom has had forever! Worked great though!
I had my prep station ready to go, complete with a fresh mojito that my hubby made for us when we arrived. Nice!
Directions are:
Boil peas for 4 minutes and transfer to a large bowl of ice-cold water; drain.
2.
In a food processor combine the peas and mint. Cover and process until almost smooth.
3.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over
medium heat. Add the onions. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook and stir
until onion s are golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Lightly season with
salt and pepper and set aside.
4.
Slice the baguette on a bias, brush the slices of
bread with remaining oil and toast under a broiler or on a grill. Rub
the toasted bread with the crushed garlic.
5.
Spread each slice of baguette with ricotta cheese.
top with a spoonful of crushed sweet peas and a few of the caramelized
onions.
And voila - out and ready to serve for everyone.
