The versatile frozen pea transforms into a light, fresh dip bursting with flavour. Use mint, basil or parsley if coriander doesn’t appeal.

2 tablespoons tahini
1 teaspoon harissa or more to taste
zest and juice 1 lime

¼ cup packed coriander 
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon water
sea salt and ground pepper
To serve
¼ cup tamari roasted almonds, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped coriander

METHOD

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Season generously with salt and pepper.

To serve: Spread on a serving plate and drizzle over a little oil. Combine the almonds and coriander and scatter over the top. Makes about 1½ cups.
