Ingredients

  • 300g labneh (strained yogurt)
  • 200g fresh or frozen peas
  • 50g shelled pistachios
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon sumac
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes

Instructions

1

Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain well.

2

Toast the pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and roughly chop, setting aside 2 tablespoons for garnish.

3

In a food processor, combine half of the blanched peas with the garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pulse until you have a chunky paste.

4

In a mixing bowl, combine the labneh with the pea mixture and fold gently until swirled through but not fully combined, creating a marbled effect. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5

Transfer the dip to a shallow serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create swirls and wells in the surface.

6

Scatter the remaining whole peas over the top, followed by the chopped pistachios, fresh mint, and dill.

7

Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sumac and Aleppo pepper.

8

Serve immediately at room temperature with warm pita bread, or refrigerate for up to 2 days and bring to room temperature before serving.
