Description

This bright and refreshing dish combines the earthy sweetness of frozen peas with the tangy creaminess of smooth-style feta. Zest and juice from fresh lemons cut through the richness, creating a balanced flavor profile that is both comforting and invigorating. The mixture is spread generously over toasted wholemeal Lebanese breads, adding a satisfying crunch and hearty texture. Perfect for a quick lunch or a light appetizer, this recipe highlights simple ingredients to create a sophisticated taste. It is vegan-friendly if you substitute the feta with a plant-based alternative, making it accessible for various dietary preferences while maintaining its bold, home-style character.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Toast the wholemeal Lebanese breads until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
  2. Thaw the frozen peas if frozen, then mash them roughly with a fork or in a food processor.
  3. In a bowl, combine the mashed peas with the smooth-style feta and lemon juice.
  4. Mix thoroughly until a creamy, spreadable consistency is achieved.
  5. Spread the pea and feta mixture generously over the toasted bread slices.
  6. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crisp.

Note

For a vegan version, substitute the feta with a creamy plant-based cheese or blended cashews.

Add a pinch of ground cumin or fresh herbs like mint or dill for extra flavor complexity.

Leftover spread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Ensure the bread is toasted thoroughly to provide a textural contrast to the soft spread.
