Recipe by Nikoleta, vegan cook and author of every recipe in the Tofu app · @surovadcerka

Ingredients

spread

• 200 g frozen peas
• 20 ml olive oil (extra virgin)
• 5 g scallion (green part only)
• 12 ml lemon juice (or lime juice)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 pinch black pepper

optional

• 1 clove garlic
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• fresh coriander

Contains: gluten, soy

How to make it

1. Thaw the peas. If you’re short on time, place them in a sieve and pour hot water over them until thawed.
2. Place the peas in a blender or food processor.
3. Add all the ingredients: olive oil, lime juice or salt, black pepper, and finely chopped spring onion or a clove of garlic, depending on taste. Optionally, add soy sauce instead of salt for extra umami flavor. Add nutritional yeast if you have it, for extra protein and a richer flavor.
4. Blend everything until smooth to create a creamy pea spread.
5. Serve the spread directly on bread, or store in a sealed jar in the fridge for 3–4 days.
6. Before serving, you can add chopped chives and a pinch of chili flakes for extra flavor.
