Smashed Peas with Mint on Bruschetta

When someone suggested this combination to me, I was skeptical, but it really works. It's light, fresh, and minty!

Ingredients
1 Ciabatta or French Baguette Loaf (preferably from Niedlov's)
1 10-ounce package frozen peas (thawed)
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh mint
2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Tools/Equipment
Oven
Food processor
Measuring cups/spoons
Sharp knife and cutting board

Directions
1.  Slice bread and broil 1.5 minutes on each side or until brown. Set aside to cool.
2.  Process thawed peas in a bowl of food processor until coarsely chopped.
3.  Stir in mint, oil, salt, and pepper.
4.  Top bread and garnish with mint leaves.
5.  Enjoy!
