Crushed pea toast

With mint, lemon and cream cheese. A seriously fresh and tasty toast.

Who doesn’t have a bag of peas in their freezer at all times?! They are such a good option when you don’t have much fresh veg in the house.

Here they are cooked, drained and crushed with soft cream cheese, mint leaves, lemon zest, a little lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Serve on sourdough toast for a fresh, crunchy, seriously quick and easy vegetarian lunch or snack.

You’ll need (serves 1-2 depending on appetite):

• 160g peas

• 40g soft cream cheese

• Half a lemon

• Couple of stalks of mint, leaves removed and chopped

• Sourdough or bread of choice, toasted

Cook the peas and drain them. In a bowl, mix the peas with the cream cheese, zest of half a lemon, the mint leaves, flakey sea salt and black pepper. Squeeze in a little lemon juice. Mix, crushing the peas with a back of a fork. Taste and add more lemon juice/seasoning to taste.

Serve on the toast. Dig in.
