Green Peas Dip

This green dip matches perfectly with (fried) fish.

Or you can store this in a jar to use as a spread for your sandwich. I usually add a soft boiled egg to this for a complete satisfying lunch.


Toast with green peas dip & tartar sauce

Toast with green peas dip & tartar sauce


Ingredients (1 big jar: +/- 500 g) :

  • 450 g frozen green peas

  • 50 g pumpkin seeds

  • 4 tablespoons of good extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 spring onion, finely chopped

  • Handful of parsley

  • Handful of mint

  • Handful of cilantro

  • Juice of half a lemon

  • Garlic powder

  • Chili powder (& chili flakes to garnish)

  • Peper & salt


Directions:

  1. Grill the pumpkin seeds in a skillet and set aside.

  2. Cook the peas in boiled water (with salt). Don’t cook them too long, they can still have a little bite. Immediately drain the peas in very cold water (to keep the green colour).

  3. Take a food processor and mix the pumpkin seeds until you get a sandy texture. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Although this dip really needs those spices, add the salt, peper, garlic & chili powder by taste/preference.

  4. You can serve this with (fried) fish or soft boiled eggs & mashed potatoes. Or transfer to a jar and keep in the fridge (+/- 5 days) for your daily toast moments.
