Smashed peas with mint and pecorino

1 clove
of garlic, peeled
a sprig
of fresh mint, leaves picked
100g
fresh podded peas
sea salt

juice of
1 lemon
a handful
of freshly grated pecorino cheese
extra virgin olive oil

Put the garlic and mint in the bottom part of the Flavour Shaker™ with a pinch of salt. Drop the ball in and screw the top on tightly. Shake well for a few seconds until smashed to a paste. Add the peas and shake some more until the peas are smashed too.

Transfer the paste to a small bowl and stir through the pecorino and olive oil until you have a nice spreading consistency. Taste and season with a little more salt, if necessary, and some lemon juice.

Serve your smashed peas smeared on bruschetta or with some slices of mozzarella. Toss with some cooked pasta for an original pasta dish!
