Sweet Pea and Feta Dip (By Cam--A Guest Poster!)

Ingredients:
4 cups shelled peas
Kosher salt
3 cups fresh feta cheese
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (can be substituted for soaked chia seeds)

Directions:
Add the peas to a well salted, large pot of boiling water. Make sure there is way more water than peas and enough salt for it to taste like the ocean.
Boil the peas for about 30 seconds
Remove the peas to an ice bath
Add in a food processor, the feta, lemon zest and mint. Drain the peas and add them to the food processor. Pulse just until the mixture comes together, you want to keep a little texture and not make it totally smooth.
Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl, crack some black pepper over the top and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Serve te pea dip with grilled cheese.
