Minted Sweet Peas with Spanish Ham & Toasted Brioche
Message from Chef Chris Kennedy - These small bites are pretty as our S.I.N. Rose itself! The minted peas bring out the freshness of this rosy wine, while the ham and brioche play to its earthy notes.
Ingredients
1 cup fresh English peas, shelled, blanched & shocked
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 large mint leaves
4 slices of Spanish ham or prosciutto, sliced into quarters
4 slices of brioche, crust removed, quartered & toasted in oven
Trefethen extra virgin olive oil
flake salt or sea salt
Procedure
1Place the cooked and cooled peas onto a cutting board and using a knife, smash and chop into a pea “mash”. Place the mashed peas into a mixing bowl, add the yogurt, and season with salt to taste. Mix well and adjust seasoning as desired.
2Place the brioche toast onto your favorite platter. Top each toast with a dollop of mashed peas, tear mint into desired size, and garnish each toast. Top each piece with cut ham and drizzle entire platter with Trefethen olive oil and sprinkle with salt. EnjoyEnjoy!
