Edamame and Pea Bruschetta

Ingredients

• 1/2 Tablespoons Salt
• 1 cup Frozen (shelled) Edamame
• 1/2 cups Frozen Peas
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 whole Spring Onions
• Ends Removed And Chopped
• 1/4 cups Packed Basil Leaves
• 1/4 cups Olive Oil
• 1/4 cups Parmesan Cheese
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Pepper
• 1 loaf French Bread
• Sliced On A Diagonal

Instructions

1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
2. Add about a 1/2 tablespoon of salt and the edamame, cook for 4 minutes, then add the peas and cook for another minute.
3. In the meantime, prepare a large bowl of fresh ice water to be used to cool down the edamame and peas when they complete cooking.
4. Remove the edamame and peas from the boiling water and quickly move them to the prepared ice bath to cool and stop cooking.
5. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
6. In a food processor, add the garlic and spring onions then pulse a few times.
7. Next, add the basil leaves, cooled edamame and peas, then pulse 3-4 times or until the mixture is chopped up within the food processor.
8. Stream the olive oil slowly into the mixture, while processing until everything comes together; it should look like a thick pesto.
9. Remove the mixture and place into a bowl, then mix in the cheese, a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
10. Use a griddle or oven to grill/toast slices of French baguette, then smear about a tablespoon onto each slice and serve.
