Ingredients
- 200g of green peas

Instructions
- Cook the peas in boiling water for 3-5 minutes or steam over hot water. Drain, then immediately pour ice cold water over it to keep its colour.
- Using a food processor, blend the peas, grated cheese, mint, rice vinegar and oil into a textured paste. Leave it a bit lumpy - it shouldn't be too smooth. Season to taste, then mix well.
- Let it rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Before serving garnish with mint leaves and Parmesan strips.
- Serve it on toasted ciabatta or baguette. Or serve it as a dip with crackers, breadsticks and so on.
