English Pea and Green Garlic Dip

1. 1

   Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add the onion, a pinch of salt, and a grind or two of black pepper.

3. 3

   Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the green garlic and thyme and cook until the garlic is wilted and fragrant, another 2 to 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove from the heat and let cool.

6. 6

   Bring a small pan of well-salted water to a boil.

7. 7

   Add the peas and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes.

8. 8

   Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again.

9. 9

   Put the peas in the bowl of a food processor along with the onion mixture, pecorino, lemon juice, mint, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

10. 10

    Pulse a few times to blend, and with the motor running, pour in the remaining 1/3 cup oil, blending just until combined.

11. 11

    Taste and add more salt or lemon juice as needed.

12. 12

    Dont compromise on the olive oil; its quality can make or break this recipe, so use the best oil youve got.

13. 13

    A peppery Tuscan oil would be my first choice; its back of the throat heat is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the peas.
