pea pesto crostini - Cook with Gem

Ingredients

• A splash of white wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
• half a teaspoon Maldon sea salt, to taste
• freshly ground black pepper
• 50g or half a cup freshly grated Parmesan (plus extra to shave over at the end)
• 3 tablespoons good olive oil – something you’d use for a salad dressing
• Optional – add a handful of basil along with the peas
• Pine nuts, toasted

• Crisply cooked prosciutto or pancetta
