Ingredients:

1 tsp olive oil
4.50g
1 onion
110g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp turmeric powder
5g
1/2 cup peas
60g
1/3 cup vegetable broth
72g
salt & pepper to taste
1 shallot
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion and shallot.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Ensure peas are thawed if using frozen.
2. Sauté Aromatics:
- 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.
3. Add Spices:
- Sprinkle in the turmeric powder and stir well to coat the onions and garlic.
- Cook for an additional minute to release the aromatic flavors of the turmeric.
4. Incorporate Peas and Broth:
- 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.
5. Blend the Dip:
- 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.
6. Season and Serve:
- 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.
7. Enjoy:
- 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.

By following these simple steps, you can create a delicious and nutritious green pea & garlic dip that is sure to impress your guests or simply satisfy your snack cravings. Enjoy it warm with your favorite sides and savor the delightful blend of flavors!
