Peas, Mint & Parmesan Crostini

These vibrant pea, mint and parmesan crostini offer a fresh and elegant start to any meal. This vegetarian appetiser celebrates the classic combination of sweet peas and cooling mint, lightened with a touch of acidic balsamic vinegar and savoury shards of Italian cheese. By lightly mashing the peas rather than blitzing them, you maintain a rustic texture that sits beautifully atop crisp, garlic-rubbed baguette slices.

Perfect for summer garden parties or as a simple lockdown-luxe snack, this recipe is incredibly versatile. You can use podded fresh peas when they are in season or high-quality frozen petits pois for a bright green hue all year round. Serve these alongside a glass of chilled white wine or as part of a larger Mediterranean-inspired sharing platter for a crowd-pleasing healthy treat.
