Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Finely dice White Onion (1/4) and Garlic (4 cloves).

Dice Zucchini (1).
step 3
Saute Frozen Green Peas (2 cups) with onion and garlic on medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add Chicken Stock (1/2 cup) and simmer for 2 minutes.
step 4
Emulsify with a stick blender until combined, then stir in the Heavy Cream (4 Tbsp) to bring the puree together. Alternately, you can blend in a blender before stirring in the cream. Chill until ready to serve.

Blanch remaining Frozen Green Peas (2 cups) and diced zucchini in salted water for 2 minutes. Drain with a slotted spoon and shock in an Ice (as needed) bath once cooked.
step 6
Add 1-inch of water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add Eggs (4) into the pot and let boil for 6 minutes, then place in an Ice (as needed) bath.
step 7
Toast Sourdough Bread (4 slices) in the oven or on a grill pan for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
step 8
Peel the cooled eggs and slice in half.
step 9
Assemble salad with pea puree on the bottom, topped with peas, zucchini, Ricotta Cheese (1 cup), zest of the Lemon or Limes (2), and Olive Oil (2 Tbsp).
step 10
Top with eggs and season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste). Serve with toasted bread.
