A mélange of cheese is spread on rustic bread, then sprinkled with a bright green mixture of pea pods and mint creating a savory appetizer of fresh, bright flavors.
Ingredients
- excellent quality ricotta
- fresh goat cheese
- grated lemon zest
- extra virgin olive oil separated
- sugar snap peas very thinly sliced diagonally
- coarse-textured bread
- clove garlic peeled
- chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- In the food processor, blend the ricotta, goat cheese, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and salt to taste until well blended. Alternately you can mash this mixture in a small bowl using a fork.
- In a frying pan, warm the remaining tablespoon olive oil and cook the sugar snap peas until almost tender but still bright green. Season with salt, to taste
- Grill, toast or broil the bread until golden and lightly crisp. Rub the bread with the clove of garlic, using the crispy bread like a grater.
- Spread the ricotta mixture on the bread, spreading evenly.
- Top with the mint and sugar snap peas and serve immediately cut into serving size wedges.
