Bruschetta

One of my favorite restaurants, Wild Olive, happens to be within walking distance to our house. This may or may not have had anything to do with us purchasing in this area :). They use fresh, seasonal, local ingredients to make simple but delicious Italian food. I had some really tasty bruschetta there a while back that served as inspiration for this dish to use up a lot of our CSA peas.

I got some of the French bread with garlic chunks in it from the grocery store, brushed both sides with butter, and grilled it on a cast iron grill pan until it got crispy with grill marks. Melted a little bit of shaved Romano cheese, added some shredded basil and ricotta, then some lemon zest, a bunch of steamed peas, salt/pepper/red pepper flake (just a teensy bit), more shaved Romano, and a little drizzle of olive oil. Mmm!
