Wine is mo betta with bruschetta

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.
