This recipe is straight from the pages of The Slim Down South Cookbook. It's gorgeous to look at, and even if your kids shy away from green foods, with a name like "sweet pea" crostini, who could say no?
Ingredients
Two, 9-ounce packages frozen sweet peas, thawed (I used one, 16-ounce package)
3 garlic cloves, chopped (I used 3 small ones)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
⅙ teaspoon table salt
40 French bread baguette slices (15 ounces), toasted
½ cup (2 ounces) crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese (I used goat cheese)
Instructions
Place peas and garlic in a food processor; with processor running, pour oil through food chute in a slow, steady stream, processing until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and salt; season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cover and chill 2 hours.
Spoon pea mixture onto toasted baguette slices; sprinkle with cheese.
