Wholegrain bread with pea and mint spread

Preparation

Put peas in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain well; this takes away the frozen taste without overcooking them. Finely grate 1 teaspoon lemon zest and squeeze 1 tablespoon juice.
Put peas, cream cheese, mint, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl. Crush with a fork for a rustic texture, or blend briefly for a smoother spread. Taste and add more lemon juice or salt if needed.
Toast the bread until crisp at the edges. Spread the pea mixture generously over the warm toast and serve immediately.
