- Blanch 200g frozen peas in boiling water for 3 mins until just cooked through. Drain and put in a food processor.
- Add a 400g tin drained and rinsed butter beans, 40g grated mature Cheddar, 2 small chopped garlic cloves, and the zest and juice of 1 lemon; blitz to a rough paste. While the motor is running, drizzle in 40-50ml olive oil until the mixture has a soft but slightly textured consistency – you might not need all the oil.
- Transfer to a bowl. Serve with 150g carrot batons, 60g mangetout, ½ deseeded and sliced red pepper and 4 toasted wholemeal pittas.
