I can't help noticing that my next-to-last entry in this blog is from about a year ago to the day.
And that it's about 35 degrees (fahrenheit) outside.
Nonetheless!
It is SPRING once again, and I am thrilled.
Pretty soon everything'll be twitterpated and abloomin'.
In celebration, here is this year's variant of eggs, peas, and mint:
Pea and mint puree on garlic-scrubbed crustini, drizzled with olive oil
and accompanied by a soft-boiled egg.
In a Spring!!
Get it??
Wish I could say that presentation bit was on purpose. Matt didn't think of it until we were bouncing the things off the table after dinner.
..What?
Anyhow: Holy fantastic WOW.
Freshness of the peas and mint melded perfectly with the richness of the egg.
Better than I could've ever hoped for.
I have extra puree left; I think I'll use it as a pesto.
Oh! And:
I took some peas, I put in some mint, I drizzled in some olive oil and sprinkled in some salt and pepper, pureed and then adjusted to taste. That's it. No measuring or anything.
Good to have you back!! Looks delicious!!
