Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a food processor, combine 1 cup of frozen peas, ½ cup of optional pea shoots, ½ cup of grated parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, half a clove of garlic, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Pulse the mixture until it forms a rough paste, keeping some texture for a delightful bite. Scrape down the sides as necessary and set aside.
- Preheat your broiler to high. Slice ciabatta bread into ½-inch thick pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet. Drizzle both sides with olive oil. Broil for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy, watching them closely to prevent burning. Once toasted, lightly rub the remaining half clove of garlic on the warm bread.
- Spread a generous layer of pea pesto over each slice of toasted ciabatta. Garnish with additional parmesan cheese, a sprinkle of lemon zest, and optional pea shoots. Drizzle with more olive oil and finish with a crack of black pepper.

Notes
For best flavor, assemble the Pea Crostini just before serving to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients.
