Tap a step to highlight it, or turn on Cook Mode for large type and step-by-step focus.

  1. Boil the peas for 3 minutes, drain and rinse in cold water.

  2. Blend the peas, mint, garlic and lemon juice until mostly smooth but with a little texture.

  3. Add the oil and pulse, then crumble in the feta and pulse once or twice. Season with the pepper.

  4. Spoon into a bowl and serve.

Small Things That Help

  • Do not overcook the peas.
  • Rinse them in cold water.
  • Leave some texture.
  • Taste before adding salt.

Swaps and Variations

  • An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the stand-in usually given when you are out of fresh garlic; it will not brown the same way, and it burns easily, so add it with the liquid.
