Ingredients

  • 275g frozen petits pois
  • 15g mint, leaves picked and finely chopped
  • 15g flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 salad onions, chopped
  • 1 (250g) tub ricotta
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 4 slices sourdough, lightly toasted
  • 4 drizzles olive oil, to serve (optional)
  • 4 small pinches chilli flakes, to serve (optional)

Method

  • Step 1

    Put the petits pois in a bowl and cover with just-boiled water. Leave to stand for 5 mins; drain and refresh under cold running water.

  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, combine the mint, parsley, salad onions, ricotta and lemon zest and juice in a bowl; mix well and season. Gently fold in three-quarters of the petits pois.

  • Step 3

    Divide the ricotta and pea mixture between the toasts, then spoon over the remaining peas. Finish with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of chilli flakes, if you like. Cover and chill leftover mixture for up to 3 days.
