Some new neighbors are coming by this evening for a visit and some wine. I'm loving some bruschetta with a glass of wine so decided to try something new. A friend gave me a recipe for fresh pea bruschetta that I can't find so I made this up, with a little memory of what I'd read. It's so good!
Green Pea Bruschetta
1 large garlic clove
16 oz. bag frozen green peas, thawed
about 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1 T. fresh lemon juice
3 T. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
salt to taste and rep pepper flakes
Pulse all ingredients in food processor until desired consistency.
To make toasts, slice a really good baguette into rounds. Toast under broiler about 1 minute then turn and toast second side. Rub one side with a garlic clove and brush with extra virgin olive oil.
We're also going to try tonight an artichoke and parmesan bruschetta and I'm serving a little whipped feta bruschetta that I have on hand.
Wine is surely mo betta with some whipped feta bruschetta. :)
Enjoy this beautiful fall weekend.
