Pea Crostini
"A note on the ingredients: I have made this dish with freshly shelled peas, but it actually comes out better with frozen peas. It's definitely not worth the effort to shell all those peas in this case. Also, I have made this dish with roasted garlic, which is tasty if you have any handy, but honestly, it tastes just as good with garlic powder. With this dish it is important to taste the final product and to make small adjustments with the flavorings as needed. Sometimes a specific lemon or variety of mint packs more or less flavor than another. So, use my measurements as a starting place, then taste for balance of flavors and add another pinch of zest, mint, garlic, salt, or pepper if needed. Enjoy!..."
