Pea Mint Chilli Dip Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Put peas in a pan with just enough stock or water to come half way up their height. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until peas are bright green and tender. Put all but 1 cup of peas in a food processor or blender, and add just enough cooking liquid to start purée. When purée is relatively smooth, transfer it to a bowl and stir in remaining cup of peas.
• Add pine nuts, cheese, garlic, mint and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; taste and adjust seasoning, then thin with more liquid if necessary. Serve or refrigerate.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a small frying pan, once bubbling, add the shallot and fry for 1 min. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for 1 min more, then tip in the peas and reheat. Take off the heat and stir in the mint, season and serve. Sprinkle over the pork scratchings, if using - they add a nice crunchy texture.

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.
