The Recipe
Creamy Pea & Tahini Spread
Ingredients
◆
140g frozen peas
◆
4 tbsp Med Cuisine Natural Tahini
◆
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, plus extra to taste
◆
1 tbsp olive oil
To Season & Serve
◆
Salt and black pepper, to taste
◆
Toasted bread or sliced vegetables, optional
Method
1
Defrost. Microwave the frozen peas on the lowest setting for about 30 seconds, or leave them at room temperature for around 15 minutes, until thawed but still cool.
2
Blend. Add the peas, Natural Tahini, lemon juice and olive oil to a food processor. Blend for about 1 minute, scraping down the bowl if needed, until smooth and spreadable.
3
Season. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Blend again briefly, adding a little more lemon juice if the spread needs extra brightness.
4
Serve. Spoon into a bowl and serve with toasted bread or crisp vegetables, or use as a filling for a plant-based sandwich.
🌿 Med Cuisine Tip: Defrost the peas without cooking them through. Keeping them cool protects their vivid green colour and fresh sweetness, while a full minute of blending gives the tahini time to turn silky.
Made with One Med Cuisine Staple
Natural Tahini gives the sweet peas a creamy body and a deep roasted sesame flavour without overpowering their freshness.
