    This simple, fresh and tasty dip featuring green peas, coriander and almonds can be on the table in under 10 minutes.

    Green pea dip (vegan, gluten free and oil free).

    Who doesn't have a bag of frozen peas lurking in the freezer? There's a good chance you do, and that you'll also have all the other ingredients on hand to get this dip on the table in under 10 minutes.

    Blanch the peas for a minute or two to thaw them out, cool them under the tap then throw them into a food processor with almonds, plenty of coriander (cilantro), garlic, ginger, lime juice and green chilli if you like a little heat. Like magic you'll have something totally packed with flavour and nutrition, made with an incredibly cheap and simple ingredient.

    This green pea dip is a great light lunch served on wholegrain toast, or serve it with chips or crackers for a snack or nibble with drinks. The flavour combination is almost Thai, except that I've never encountered a green pea in a Thai dish before! Go with it. The sweetness of the peas balances out the other flavours beautifully and I found myself wanting to pile my toast up high with more, more, more!

    I picked some pretty edible flowers (nasturtiums) from my Mum's garden and they were such a pretty and peppery accompaniment. I'm feeling really inspired to get planting other edible flowers like violas and pansies in my own garden so that I can enjoy pretty lunches and salads whenever I feel like it.

    INGREDIENTS

    • 2 cups frozen green peas
    • ¼ cup almonds
    • 1 cup coriander (cilantro, roughly chopped)
    • 1 clove garlic crushed or finely grated
    • 1 teaspoon ginger finely grated
    • 2 tablespoon lime juice
    • ½ to 1 green chilli (optional)
    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    INSTRUCTIONS

    • Blanch green peas by adding them to rapidly boiling water for no more than 1-2 minutes. Drain in a colander then run under a cold tap to cool.
    • Add everything except for the peas to a food processor and pulse until almonds are roughly chopped (this avoids over-processing the dip if the soft peas were added at the same time as the crunchy nuts).
    • Add the peas and blend until a well combined but rustic consistency with some chunky bits. Or blend until really smooth if you prefer it that way. Add a little water (1-2 tablespoon at a time) if you'd like a looser consistency.
    • Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, chilli or lime juice as required.
    • Garnish with more coriander, and edible flowers if you're feeling fancy.
    • Makes approximately 1 ½ cups of dip.
