It's packed with flavor and requires only a handful of ingredients. Whether you're hosting a party or simply want a nutritious dip to enjoy with veggies or crackers, this recipe is perfect for you.

Ingredients:

3 cups peas
360g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
27g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peas:
- If using fresh peas, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the peas and cook them for about 2-3 minutes, until they are tender. Drain and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- If using frozen peas, simply thaw them according to the package instructions.
2. Prepare the Garlic:
- Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them. This will make it easier to blend them into the dip.
3. Blend the Ingredients:
- In a food processor or blender, combine the cooked peas, chopped garlic, grated parmesan cheese, and olive oil.
4. Process Until Smooth:
- Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined.
5. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as needed. Depending on your preference, you might want to add a pinch of salt and pepper. If the dip is too thick, you can add a little bit more olive oil or a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the pea and parmesan dip to a serving bowl. You can garnish it with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of grated parmesan, or some fresh herbs like parsley or mint.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve the dip with your favorite dippers such as fresh vegetables, pita bread, crackers, or crusty bread.

Tips:

- Use Fresh or Frozen Peas: Both fresh and frozen peas work well for this recipe. If you're using frozen peas, make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.

- Adjust Garlic to Taste: If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, feel free to add an extra clove. Conversely, if you’re not a huge fan of garlic, start with one clove and taste the mixture before adding more.

- Blend to Your Desired Consistency: For a chunkier dip, pulse the ingredients in the food processor instead of blending continuously. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the mixture longer until you reach your desired consistency.

- Add Extra Flavors: Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of tanginess, or a handful of fresh mint or basil for an aromatic twist.

- Serve Chilled: For the best flavor, let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

And there you have it—a simple yet flavorful Pea and Parmesan Dip that's sure to be a hit at any gathering. Enjoy it with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or your favorite crackers. Not only is this dip delicious, but it's also nutritious, making it a great addition to any meal or snack time.
