Description

ON FRENCH BAGUETTE



Method

Step 1

In your Prep Master Mini food processor, combine basil, mint, 4 tbs oil, lemon zest and juice, and process using the twin chopper blades until nearly smooth. Season with salt. Leave mixture in the food processor.

Step 2

Heat a medium heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tbs oil, then add shallot and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, or until tender and translucent. Add peas and cook for 5 minutes, or until cooked through but still crisp-tender. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Add half of the warm pea mixture to the basil, mint pesto and pulse until peas are coarsely chopped. Transfer mixture to bowl and fold in remaining warm pea mixture. Season with salt.

Step 4

Toast baguette slices until lightly golden. Divide burrata among the toasted baguette and spoon over pesto. Sprinkle with Parmensan cheese and serve immediately.
