Green Pea Dip
You’ll need: 2 cups (220g) frozen peas (or shell fresh peas) Large handful (1 cup) mint leaves ½ cup (70g) pine nuts or blanched almonds
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon (adjust to taste) 2 tbsp lemon juice 1–2 tbsps olive or coconut oil Sea salt & ground black pepper
Method: 1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Add the peas and cook for 3 minutes or until just tender – you don’t want them super-mushy. Drain. 2. Put peas into a food processor with mint, pine nuts, lemon zest and juice, and 1 tablespoon of the oil and process until smooth-ish. It’s best when it’s a little chunky. If you want a smooth consistency, add a little more oil or water. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 3. Serve with crackers, breadsticks, toasted pita or flatbread, or vegetable crudités.
