- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 small bunch fresh mint leaves
- 115g/4oz plain yoghurt
- ½ red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ground cumin

Method
Place the peas, onion, garlic and mint leaves into a food processor and blend to a thick purée.
Add the yoghurt and blend again, leaving the mixture slightly lumpy.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the chilli, cumin, coriander and lime juice and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Spoon into a serving bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Serve with a bowl of nachos alongside for dipping.
