Pea Dip With Parmesan image

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

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.

Time 11m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups shelled peas
Kosher salt
2 cups fresh sheep's milk ricotta cheese
Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Serving suggestion: Serve with grilled bread.

Steps:

  • Add the peas to a well salted, large pot of 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.
  • To a food processor, add 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.
  • Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl, crack some black pepper over the top and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Serve the pea dip with grilled bread.
