Ingredients

Yields 4 servings

Pea mousse

300 g frozen peas, thawed
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp freshly chopped mint
1 tsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
salt
pepper

Assembly

4 slices rye bread
100 g feta cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
butter, for the bread

Directions

Pea mousse

Blend peas, oil, mint, lemon juice and garlic into a reasonably smooth mousse. It doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth — a little texture is fine. Season with salt and pepper. Add a little more lemon juice if it needs acidity.

Assembly

Butter the bread and spread the pea mousse generously. Crumble feta over the top and drizzle with a little olive oil. Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves.
