Smashed peas and fava beans with fresh mozzarella

Greek cuisine
recipe

This recipe is adapted from Jamie Oliver's "Jamie at Home," and it is perfect because he is really the star of showcasing beautiful, fresh ingredients. Both the peas and fava beans are used raw in this recipe, and Jamie suggests mashing all the ingredients together using a mortar and pestle to get some 'bashed and bruised flavor that makes this dish incredible.' I don't have a mortar and pestle nearly big enough to do that, so to make the pea and fava puree, all I did was give the ingredients a whirl in a food processor or blender - The fava beans and peas are combined with fresh mint, bright lemon juice, savory parmesan, and extra virgin olive oil for richness. Once you make the puree, all you need to do is assemble the toasts and they are ready to serve. You can also use leftover pea and fava puree like pesto with pasta! - TheCilantropist
