PEA AND MINT PESTO CROSTINI
This is a recipe based on one by Giada De Laurentiis. It's superb! It freezes well with no discoloration so it's easy to make ahead or to freeze leftovers (not that there ever is in my house). If you don't want to make the crostini, spread the pea pesto on Melba toast or other very crisp crackers. Don't skip the tomatoes as they really finish the dish. I usually use sourdough bread for this.This also makes a great sauce for chicken or fish.

Steps:
- For the pea pesto: Pulse together the peas, Parmesan, garlic, and mint with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a food processor. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil until everything is well combined and you have a smooth puree, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- For the crostini: Brush one side of the sliced bread with olive oil and toast it until golden brown and crispy. You can grill the bread if you prefer.
- Transfer the bread to a serving platter. If necessary, cut the bread slices so that you have slices about 2 inches long. Spread one heaping tablespoon of the pea pesto on each slice. Top each slice with a tomato half or a bit of diced tomato and serve.
- For maximum crispiness, use day old bread or fresh bread that's been dried out in a 300F oven for about 5 minutes.

- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Slice the baguette in 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices, either on the bias (diagonal for more surface area) or perpendicular to the loaf of bread (straight across). Spread the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle one side of the slices with olive oil (don’t drench them, dry areas are ok). Turn the slices over, pressing them around on the pan in the olive oil to spread the olive oil and coat the slices. Flip and do the same to both sides. Sprinkle the slices with salt and pepper. Bake the slices for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn, the thinner they are, the less time they will need.

- Shrimp & pesto. Pesto is a favorite in our family, so this version is a no-brainer for us. Toss the shrimp with some olive oil, salt and pepper, and sear over medium-high heat until just cooked through.
- Fig jam & Brie. When it comes to crostini, I love nothing more than a combination of sweet and savory. This fig jam & Brie version is the perfect example!
- Hummus, olive tapenade & roasted peppers. This crostini idea is as easy as it gets. Spread your favorite hummus on the baguette pieces, then top with a good store-made olive tapenade and some chopped roasted red bell peppers.
- White beans, rosemary & garlic. Start by sautéing some garlic cloves in olive oil for about a minute. In a bowl, combine the white beans (cannellini or Great Northern beans), garlic/olive oil mixture, chopped fresh rosemary and salt.
- Buffalo chicken & Gorgonzola. These crostini are like game day heaven! All of the flavors of Buffalo chicken wings in one tidy, healthier little bite.

- Put half the garlic into a pestle and mortar or a food processor. Add a bit more garlic if you like, but I tend to stick to about half a clove. Pound or pulse this with the fresh basil leaves and the pine nuts to a fine purée. Turn out into a bowl and add the Parmesan. Gently stir in and add a little olive oil until smooth and spreadable. If you want, add more Parmesan to adjust the taste.
- Grill or toast the slices of bread, rub with the remaining halved clove of garlic, then drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil. Spoon over the pesto and season well to taste.
