Pea and Preserved Lemon Spread on Toast

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Pea Spread with Preserved Lemon served on toast is one of my absolute favorite lunches. It takes no time at all to whip up and is absolutely delicious. A couple of years ago, I’m not sure I would’ve said I even liked peas. We ended up growing them in our garden last year and we all fell in love with them.  I ended up ordering a toast with smashed peas topped with radishes at a local brewery, Trillium. It was so delicious I had to try to recreate it.

Flavor Hack: Preserved lemons are a pantry staple in our household. They are super easy to make but are also easy to find in the store. Here’s a link for easy instructions for making preserved lemon and a list of my favorite recipes that include them.

This recipe is super simple.  Add the ingredients to the food processor and puree. You want there to be some texture but smooth enough to spread. 

Spread the Pea mixture on toast and enjoy. It’s delicious on its own and also pairs well with various toppings. Marinated feta cheese, pickled onions, and fresh sprouts are some of my favorite additions to this toast.
