Yield Makes 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 garlic clove, quartered
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for toast
Kosher salt
2 cups shelled fresh peas (from about 2 pounds pods) or frozen peas, thawed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped preserved lemon peel (from 1/2 preserved lemon), divided
1 tablespoon (or more) fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper flakes plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper
12 slices country-style bread or ciabatta, toasted
Ingredient info: Preserved lemons are lemons that have been soaked in salt and lemon juice for several weeks. They are available at Middle Eastern markets and specialty foods stores.

Steps:

  • Combine garlic, parsley, 1 tablespoon oil, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Add peas and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender, about 5 minutes for fresh peas, about 2 minutes for frozen. Drain, reserving cooking liquid.
  • Transfer pea mixture to a food processor; pulse until a coarse paste forms. Transfer to a medium bowl; mix in chives, 1/2 tablespoons preserved lemon peel, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, and 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in reserved cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls until mixture is still thick but spreadable. Season pea mash with salt, black pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired.
  • Drizzle toast with oil; top with pea mash, sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tablespoons preserved lemon peel and more Aleppo pepper, and drizzle with more oil.
  • DO AHEAD: Pea mash can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
