When life gives you fresh green peas....

You shell them, and although you can sit there and shell them and pop 'em in your mouth quite easily throughout the day, it seemed a bit of a shame not to get a little more out of them.  So I went into my garden and plucked a handful of oregano, had the boyfriend shell the rest of the peas and voila.  It was a lovely breakfast on a sunny day in Santa Cruz.

Pea and Oregano Pesto Crostini





1 cup peas
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup fresh oregano
2 T white beans
1/4 cup grated parmasean regianno
2 T olive oil
salt 
pepper
A squirt of fresh lemon juice

Whiz all ingredients in a food process, and spread onto crusty toasty bread. Top with sprouts for a lovely crunch. Yum !
