Ellie Krieger's Sweet Pea & Feta Toasts - Mindful by Sodexo Recipes

Sweet pea hummus on a toasted multigrain baguette with radishes, feta and dill with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

Prep Time: 3 to 5 minutes|Cook time: 5 to 10 minutes|Yield: 4 servings; 2 toasts

2 cups green peas, fresh or frozen
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
8 slices crusty, textured whole grain bread, such as from a “health” loaf (½-inch thick slices, about 1 ¼ ounce each) or multigrain baguette sliced into long slices on a bias (about 1 ¼ ounce each)
1 medium radish, thinly sliced into half moons
1 scallion, green and white parts, thinly sliced
½ cup crumbled feta cheese (2 ounces)
¼ cup fresh dill fronds

If using fresh peas place them in a saucepan with ½ cup of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still bright green, 5-10 minutes depending on the size and starchiness of the peas. Drain the peas, then transfer them to an ice bath for a few minutes to stop the cooking and drain again. If using frozen peas, heat them in a pan on the stove or in a bowl in the microwave until thawed but still cool.
Transfer the peas to the small bowl of a food processor. Add two tablespoons of the oil, the lemon juice, zest, the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Pulse several times, until the mixture is spreadable, but retains some texture.
Toast the bread, then spread 2 heaping tablespoons of the pea mixture onto each piece of toast. Top each with a few radish slices, some scallion, cheese and dill. Drizzle each toast with ½ teaspoon of the remaining olive oil, and sprinkle with the remaining black pepper. Enjoy immediately!
