SWEET PEA DIP

"This creamy dip on crunchy bread is super satisfying."

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups fresh or frozen peas
Kosher salt
1 cup fresh sheep's milk ricotta cheese
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Grilled bread, for serving

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.

PEA DIP WITH PARMESAN

With dips there is always something new, because if you substitute "thick purée" for "dip," the options are limitless.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     quick, appetizer

Time 10m

Yield At least 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups peas (frozen are fine; no need to defrost)
About 1 cup stock or water, as needed
3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, roughly chopped
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint or more to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground black pepper

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.

This is a fresh, zingy dip which is bursting with flavour and a wonderful sense of vitality. I like it with warm pitta bread or melba toast, but it would be good with just about anything. I have even used it to dress pasta, which was rather yummy. All quantities given are approximate - feel free to vary them according to taste.
