These nachos are a great crowd-pleaser, perfect for sharing with friends
Our method
- Cook the peas according to the cooking instructions on the pack.
- Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic for 2–3 minutes over a gentle heat or until just softened and crisp in texture.
- Blitz the onion, garlic, peas and mint in a food processor until coarsely blended or the desired consistency is achieved
- Stir in the yoghurt, chillies, cumin and Tabasco and season to taste
- Chill well. Meanwhile, put the nachos onto a baking tray and sprinkle over the cheese. Pop under a preheated grill for 2–3 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the nachos are warm.
Tip!
- Try with taco chips, as a filling in pitta bread with iceberg lettuce or stuffed in a baked potato.
