Some friends came round last night.

The men to watch the 'footie', and drink beer, and the girls to have a good old gossip,and a glass (or 3) of wine in the garden.

 

Looking for something to go with our al fresco drinks, I came across Claire Thomas at the Kitchy Kitchen who has come up with this perfectly delicious, summer dip.

 

To make a good bowlful,

 

 

YOU'LL NEED:

 

 

1 cup frozen peas

1 tbls sugar

1 tsp salt for boiling the peas

2 cups of cooked chickpeas

1/4 cup greek yoghurt

2 cloves garlic very finely chopped

large handful fresh coriander leaves chopped

1/2 tsp cumin

2 tbls tahini paste

2 tbls lemon juice

salt and black pepper 

 

 

Put the peas, sugar and salt into a saucepan and cover with water. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until tender and bright green. Drain and rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process.

 

Strain the peas and pop all of the above remaining ingredients into a food processor and blitz. Add salt and pepper to taste.

 

Serve with a swirl of olive oil,

and a little extra chopped coriander on the top.

 

Dipping implements are up to you, but I like to serve with warm pitta bread, carrot, red pepper and cucumber sticks.

 

Did someone mention the world cup?!

 

Bon Apetit!
