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.
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:
Grill the pumpkin seeds in a skillet and set aside.
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).
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.
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.
