An easy, peasy way to get your greens!
This is great as a dip or spread. I especially love it as an accompaniment to fish or slapped on a fish burger.
2 cups frozen green peas
2 cups frozen broad beans with skin-on (or 1 cup shelled)
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
2 Tb lemon juice
2 Tb natural yoghurt
60g feta cheese
2-3 Tb fresh mint leaves
salt & pepper
1. Bring a pot of water to the boil.
2. Add peas and broad beans. Cover with lid. When water starts to boil again, remove pot from heat. Drain and refresh under cold water until cool. Drain again.
3. Remove shells from broad beans by gently pinching one end and popping out the inner beans. Discard the shells.
4. Add peas & broad beans to food processor with all remaining dip ingredients. Whiz until combined and desired texture is reached.
5. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
NOTE: If you don't have broad beans, just substitute with an extra 1 cup of peas, and skip step 3 of recipe.
Store in fridge and use within 5 days.
Best served as fresh as possible as the vibrant colour reduces after a day or 2.
Omit the yoghurt and feta cheese and replace with approx 4 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
