In this recipe minted pea purée is slathered on sourdough toast, then topped with fresh prawns, a crumble of feta cheese and a few pomegranate seeds to make a simple but flavourful tartine. This tartine recipe is ideal for a quick lunch, but you could swap the sourdough toast for crostini to make the best canapes! This pea purée recipe can also be used in lots of other ways, including as a side dish or stirred into dishes like risotto or pasta. Enjoy!

Could we possibly just take a minute to appreciate toast? Like, it’s there for you in minutes. It’s warm. It’s sometimes buttery. You can make it sweet. You can make it savoury. You can have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert. And not to mention all those snacky times in between ❤


We’ve fancied toast up a little in this recipe by taking it from toast to tartine. What is a tartine I hear you cry?! A tartine is basically a fancy French way of saying open-faced sandwich. I had my first taste of tartine when I travelled to New York with my dad. We went to Le Pain Quotidien a bakery/restaurant that specialises in all sorts of bread based goods. It was simple, but heavenly.

When it comes to tartine toppings, you can add whatever takes your fancy. For this tartine recipe I’ve made a really simple pea purée with mint, then topped it with a few fresh prawns, a little crumbled feta and pomegranate seeds. The flavours are so fresh, with a great balance of saltiness from the prawns and feta and a little sweetness from the pomegranate. Honestly, it is SO GOOD. Make it. Then make it again for good measure. It’s worth it!

Minted Pea Purée Tartine with Prawns, Feta and Pomegranate FAQ

How to store pea purée:

Transfer the pea purée to an air-tight Tupperware container and store in the fridge for 2-3 days.

How to freeze pea purée:

Allow the pea purée to cool at room temperature for no more than two hours, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Store in the freezer for 2-3 months at most.

To thaw, transfer the pea purée from the freezer to the fridge and leave until fully defrosted – this can take up to 24 hours. Alternatively, use the defrost setting on your microwave.

How to reheat pea purée:

Add the pea purée to a saucepan with a little water and place over a medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, until the pea purée is warmed through. Try not to let the mixture boil as this will affect the colour of the pea purée.

Can pea puree be made in advance?

It can, make the pea purée as directed and store in the fridge. Re-heat as directed above.

Can the the tartine be made in advance?

While this tartine is best served fresh and warm, it can be made ahead. Make the tartine no more than 12 hours before serving to avoid the bread becoming soggy. And make sure to store in the fridge. For best results, you could prepare all of the ingredients separately ahead of time and then assemble the tartine at the last minute.
