Chef's Notes

I love using this pea spread to top toasted baguette slices and then add some thinly sliced radishes for a festive little bite.
Or, you can top the baguette slices with some extra Parmesan cheese or cracked black pepper or some slivered fresh mint leaves. Or just serve this spread with crackers and veggies.
This dip is best enjoyed in the first two days after it's made.
