These easy-pea sy crostini are fantastically fresh and a cinch to whip together.  With savory, cheesy, creamy-dreamy sweet pea and ricotta puree, herbaceous spring onion gremolata and crunchy pine nuts, these crostini taste like a big bite of spring! Hello friends!  How was your weekend?  Did you do anything exciting?

Boy and I had a lovely weekend.  I had some blog related shenanigans I needed to take care of, so we drove into the ‘city’… well, one of them, which is always fun.  We also made time for both frolicking outside to enjoy the beautiful weather and time for a little R & R in the comfort of our SuBourbon Country Cottage.  And our comfy clothes.

Overall I’d say it was a successful weekend, although it could have been longer.  And I could have used that extra hour of sleep that selfish Mr. Spring Forward stole from me.  Anyways, let’s get down to food business.  I’m not going to lie, today was supposed to be the start of my Easter posts…which BTW, can anyone else not believe is only 13 days away?  Gah!

But, due to the gorgeous green color of this appetizer, I’m going to go ahead and declare that you are getting an accidental two-fer today.  A recipe great for both Paddy’s day and Easter.  Woot!

Sweet Pea & Ricotta Crostini with Spring Onion Gremolata and Pine Nuts

These crostini are fantastically fresh and taste like you are taking a big ‘ole bite right outta spring.  If you like sweet peas (because I see you, I know you do), you are going to love these crostini.

These carb-a-licious crostini have it going on in both the flavor and texture department.  The crisp, perfectly toasted slices of baguette are topped with a savory, cheesy, slightly sweet and creamy-dreamy sweet pea and ricotta puree.  And while those two things – toasted bread and delicious pea puree – are tasty on their own, the herbaceous, zesty spring onion gremolata and crunchy, slightly salty pine nuts finish this crostini off fabulously. But, these crostini aren’t just a treat for the feed-me-all-the-things-spring-fresh taste buds, they are also a cinch and take less than 15 minutes to throw together.

Simply use the food processor to (literally) whip together the sweet pea and ricotta puree.  Quickly sauté some spring onions and mix them with a few chives, parsley and lemon zest.  Slice and toast a baguette.  Assemble crostini.  Bam.  Appetizers are served.

How’s that for easy elegance?    So whether you need an appetizer for your St. Patty’s day party, your Easter gathering or both, I know you and your guests will love these easy-pea sy crostini.  Until Thursday friends, Cheers – to pretty in pea crostini!
