Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion and shallot.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Ensure peas are thawed if using frozen.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

- Add the peas to the pan and stir to combine with the onions, garlic, and turmeric.
- Pour in the vegetable broth.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the peas are tender and warmed through.
- Carefully transfer the pea mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the pan.
- Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- If the dip is too thick, you can add a little more vegetable broth or water to reach your desired texture.
- Taste the dip and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix in the finely chopped shallot for added texture and flavor.
- Transfer the warm dip to a serving bowl.
- Serve warm with your choice of dippers such as pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Tips:
- For a smoother dip, use a high-quality blender or food processor to puree the ingredients.
- Freeze extra peas beforehand if you want to quickly chill the dip after it's prepared.
- Adjust the level of garlic and turmeric to suit your personal taste preference.
- Add a splash of lemon juice for an extra zesty flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added freshness and color.
