Sweet Pea Crostini

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• Two 20-ounce bags frozen peas
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 11/2 teaspoons salt, or more if needed
• 1 baguette, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and lightly toasted
• 1/2 cup fresh basil or mint leaves
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter or heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and red pepper flakes, and saute until the onions are translucent but not yet brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Add the peas and white wine, and raise the heat to medium-high. Bring the liquid to a boil, stirring the peas around so all of them defrost, 5 to 7 minutes.
3. When the mixture is heated through, transfer it all to a blender or food processor and add the salt. Blend until the peas are about the consistency of hummus, adding water if the puree is too thick to process. Taste for salt and correct to your preference.
4. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the pea mixture onto each toasted baguette round, and garnish with the chopped basil and grated Parmesan.
