Method
step 1
Put the peas in a saucepan and cover with boiling water from the kettle. Cook over a medium heat for 1 min, then drain.
step 2
Tip the peas into a bowl and mash with a fork. Add a pinch of salt, the mint, lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice and the olive oil, then mix well. Can be eaten warm or cold. Will keep chilled for a day.
step 3
Toast the bread and poach eggs, if you like. Pile the smashed peas onto the hot toast, put an egg on top, if using, and sprinkle over some chilli flakes if you enjoy a bit of spice.
