Pea And Mint Dip

This weekend I made a few recipes at The Life Arts event on the chef stage.

This one was a great success so I thought I would share it with you all.

1 ⅔ cups (250g) green peas, frozen

1 clove garlic

2 tbsp. lemon juice

½ avocado

2-3 sprigs fresh mint, leaves only (or you can use basil too)

1. Place frozen peas in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them stand for a few minutes until defrosted, then drain and transfer to a food processor or high speed blender.

2. Add in the garlic, lemon juice, avocado, mint leaves, and season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Add 1-2 tbsp. of cold water if the dip is too thick. Taste and adjust seasoning to your taste.

3. Serve as a dip with fresh vegetables, crisps, lettuce wraps or cucumbers
