Pea Dip Recipes

CURRIED PEA DIP

Steps:

• Warm the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and the garlic and cook for another 3 minutes. Stir in the curry powder and peas and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Place the pea mixture in a food processor with the yogurt and 1/4 cup water and puree until smooth, adding more salt to taste. To serve, transfer the dip to a bowl, top with a spoonful of yogurt and stir a few times to create a swirl.

PEA AND MINT DIP

Steps:

• Blitz all the ingredients together in a food processor so there is still a little texture to the dip, about 15 seconds, or longer if you prefer a smoother dip. (Alternatively, place the ingredients in a bowl and mash with a potato masher.)
• Spoon the dip into a serving bowl. Serve with potato chips.

MINTY PEA DIP

Steps:

• Cook peas in salted boiling water until tender, 1 minute. Transfer to an ice-water bath; drain.
• Pulse peas in a food processor with mint, lemon zest and juice, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and tahini.
• Season with salt and pepper; drizzle with oil.

PEA DIP

Steps:

• Whizz peas (lightly cooked, if you prefer), lime juice, chilli, spring onion and mint together in the food processor (or use a hand blender) until they form a pâté. The texture can be smooth or coarse, as you wish.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, then serve very cold.

SWEET PEA DIP

Steps:

• Add the peas to a large pot of well-salted boiling water. (Make sure there is way more water than peas and enough salt for it to taste like the ocean.) Boil the peas for about 30 seconds. Remove the peas to an ice bath.
• In a food processor, combine the ricotta, lemon zest, parmesan and mint. Drain the peas and add them to the food processor. Pulse just until the mixture comes together; you want to keep a little texture and not make it totally smooth. Season with salt.
• Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl, crack some pepper over the top and drizzle with the olive oil. Serve the pea dip with grilled bread.

4-INGREDIENT PEA DIP

Steps:

• Place the frozen peas in a colander and run under water until they are thawed or alternatively just leave out for 10 to 15 minutes and room temperature.
• In a blender combine the garlic gloves, peas, olive oil and salt. Blend until smooth. If using mint toss into the blender as well.
• Transfer to a bowl and serve.

GREEN PEA DIP

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine peas, yogurt, lime juice, garlic and cumin.
• Process, but stop before mixture is completely smooth.
• Transfer to a bowl and stir in salsa and salt to taste.

PEA DIP

Steps:

• In a food processor, purée the peas, ricotta, scallions, Parmesan, oil, salt, and pepper.
• Transfer to a bowl and fold in the mint. Drizzle with additional oil before serving, if desired.
• Serve with the pita chips, crackers or whatever you want.

PEA, MINT & CHILLI DIP

Steps:

• Whizz the peas, yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, mint and chilli together in a food processor to a texture you like. Divide between plastic tubs to pack into lunchboxes, or tip into a serving bowl. Lightly toast the pittas, then cut into wedges and serve with the dip and carrots.
