Instructions

Gather all ingredients on a clean countertop. If using frozen peas, thaw them in warm water for about five minutes.
In a food processor, combine peas and mint leaves. Pulse until finely chopped, avoiding pureeing.
Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth while gradually adding olive oil.
Adjust consistency by adding water one tablespoon at a time if too thick. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with mint leaves or whole peas.
