Ingredients
450g/1lb frozen peas
½ small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped
10 mint leaves
100g/3½oz plain yoghurt
½ fresh red chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
salt and freshly ground black pepper
olive oil
pitta bread, to serve
Method
1. Defrost the peas and thoroughly drain off any water.
2. Put the peas in a food processor with the onion, garlic, mint and yoghurt and purée slightly.
3. Add the chilli, ground cumin and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Pour mixture into a serving bowl. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and serve with pieces of toasted, warm pitta bread.
Tip:
If you don t have a food processor, crush the peas with a potato masher before adding the other ingredients. The texture will be coarser but it will taste just as good.
