Ingredients
Method
For the crushed peas:
While the peas are still warm lightly crush them using a fork. Blend in the olive oil and season to taste.
For the dressing:
Cover the garlic with boiling water and leave for 5 minutes. Crush the garlic to a paste. In a small bowl whisk together the garlic, lemon juice and zest, then whisk in the oil and add the oregano. Season to taste with the salt, pepper and sugar.
To serve:
Chargrill the bread and sprinkle with a little Maldon salt. Spread the crushed peas onto the bread and dot crumbled goats cheese over the peas. Dress the pea shoots with a little of the dressing and scatter over the bruschetta. Finish with a drizzle more dressing.
