ABOUT Peas Tahini Dip RECIPE

This is a very versatile recipe shared by a very dear friend. It can be used as a dip or as a sandwich spread. The dip uses the fresh tender baby peas that flood the markets in winters. The addition of Tahini gives it a very nutty earthy flavor and aroma. I love to use it as a dip with the fresh flatbreads.
