Method

Put the ricotta in a small food processor with 1½ tsp lemon juice and blitz until light and creamy. Season, stir in half the mint, then chill for 15 mins or until needed.
Brush the courgette ribbons with 1 tsp oil. Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat, then griddle the courgette for 1-2 mins each side until softened and lightly charred. Set aside. Brush the bread with the remaining oil, then griddle for 45-60 secs each side to toast.
Simmer the peas in boiling water for 4 mins, then drain, reserving a little of the cooking water. Blitz in the food processor, adding a little reserved water if needed to loosen, until roughly chopped. Stir through the remaining mint.
Top 4 slices of the toast with the pea mixture. Divide the courgette ribbons and whipped ricotta among them. Scatter over the lemon zest and fnish with cracked black pepper. Sandwich with the other slices of toast and cut in half to serve.
