Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400F degrees. Split the flatbread between two baking sheets. Drizzle the olive oil over the flatbreads and brush to coat. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until they just start to get crispy.
Meanwhile, make the white bean puree by combining the beans, olive oil, water, lemon juice, garlic, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a touch more water or olive oil if necessary to keep things moving.
When the flatbreads have crisped up slightly, add a generous scoop of white bean puree to each and spread into an even layer. Arrange the asparagus pieces on top and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Put the flatbreads back in the oven for 5 minutes, until the asparagus is bright green.
While the flatbreads finish, cook the peas. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil, add the peas, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse the peas with cool water.
Remove the flatbreads from the oven and top with the peas, radish slices, lemon zest, and herbs. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
