Description

This recipe is as versatile as they come. Trade out the peas for edamame (fresh green soybeans). Not a fan of goat cheese? How about some fresh grated Romano? Basil or tarragon can be substituted for the mint. Looking for a vegetarian option? Skip the pancetta and garnish them with some crispy shallots instead.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Finely Diced Pancetta
  • 24 whole Baguette Slices, 3/8-inch Thick
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Plus More For Brushing The Bread Slices
  • 2 cups Fresh Peas Or Frozen Ones, Thawed And Drained
  • ½ whole Lemon, Juice Only
  • 10 leaves Mint, Torn, Plus More For Finishing
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 2 ounces, weight Chèvre (Feta Or Parmesan Are Nice Too.)
  • ¾ teaspoons Sea Salt

Preparation

In a large skillet, cook the pancetta over moderate heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a paper towel-lined plate.

For the crostini, heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly brush both sides of the baguette slices with olive oil and grill each side until golden brown, about 2 minutes.

For the sweet pea puree, combine remaining ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and puree.

Top each crostini with a generous dollop of pea puree. Garnish with crispy pancetta and additional pieces of chopped fresh mint.
