Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound frozen peas, defrosted
  • 1 bunch fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 of 1 small sweet onion, chopped
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • Splash lemon juice, to taste
  • 1/3 cup olive oil, or whenever dip comes together
Directions
  1. Throw onion and garlic into food processor and blend until smooth.
  2. Add mint, peas, some salt and pepper, and blend until smooth.
  3. With the processor running, slowly drizzle olive oil in a steady stream into the dip until it's reached your desired consistency.
  4. Stir in lemon juice JUST before serving, as it will eventually turn the mint leaves brown.
