Best 7 Pea And Leek Dip Recipes

SWEET PEA DIP

Steps:

• Add the peas to a large pot of well-salted boiling water. (Make sure there is way more water than peas and enough salt for it to taste like the ocean.) Boil the peas for about 30 seconds. Remove the peas to an ice bath.
• In a food processor, combine the ricotta, lemon zest, parmesan and mint. Drain the peas and add them to the food processor. Pulse just until the mixture comes together; you want to keep a little texture and not make it totally smooth. Season with salt.
• Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl, crack some pepper over the top and drizzle with the olive oil. Serve the pea dip with grilled bread.

TEXAN BLACK-EYED PEA DIP

Steps:

• Combine picante sauce, black-eyed peas, hominy, white onion, cilantro, green onion, chile peppers, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. Cover and chill for 24 hours.

PEA DIP

Steps:

• Whizz peas (lightly cooked, if you prefer), lime juice, chilli, spring onion and mint together in the food processor (or use a hand blender) until they form a pâté. The texture can be smooth or coarse, as you wish.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, then serve very cold.

LEEK AND PEA DIP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan on medium and add the leek and garlic, stir, cook stirring occasionally, for 6-7 minutes or until the leek is soft.
• Add the peas and stock to the pan and cover and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes or until the peas are just tender and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
• Put the leek mixture and chickpeas in a small food processor or use a handheld blender and blend until almost smooth (leave a little chunky).
• Transfer to a small serving bowl and add the mint and lemon juice and season with pepper and stir to combine.
• Top with mint to serve and accompany the dip with the asparagus, carrot, cucumber and celery sticks.
• NOTE - to blanch the asparagus, first fill a large bowl with iced water and set aside and then bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add the asparagus and cook for 1 minute and then drain well and transfer to the iced water and set aside for 3 to 4 minutes or until well chilled and drain.

BUTTERED PEAS & LEEKS

Steps:

• Gently soften the leeks in butter and oil in your largest pan for 15-20 mins until almost meltingly soft. You can soften the leeks up to a day ahead, then just reheat in the pan before continuing the recipe. Stir in the stock, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins. Stir in the peas and spring onions for 3-5 mins more until the peas are defrosted and cooked through, then season and serve.

LEEK DIP

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the leeks, cream cheese, creamy salad dressing, vinegar, sugar, bacon bits, salt and pepper. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours, until well chilled.

PEA DIP WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Put peas in a pan with just enough stock or water to come half way up their height. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until peas are bright green and tender. Put all but 1 cup of peas in a food processor or blender, and add just enough cooking liquid to start purée. When purée is relatively smooth, transfer it to a bowl and stir in remaining cup of peas.
• Add pine nuts, cheese, garlic, mint and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; taste and adjust seasoning, then thin with more liquid if necessary. Serve or refrigerate.
