Pesto peas
Fresh, sweet and very elegant on the palate, the sauce made from young peas and herbs. Delicious on a cracker or paramannam a piece of bread, but as well it will serve as a sauce for pasta. Special thanks to friend Sarah nuf_nuf, for the inspiration!

Cooking

step-0
I have here a handsome pea, in a literal translation it is called here peas-Capuchin, someone might know the Russian name? But, in General, use ideally fresh young peas or frozen. Canned for this recipe will not do.
step-1
Polka dot peel and blanch: put it in the boiling water, wait until the water again boils, cook for 20-30 seconds (if the peas are not quite young, a bit longer). Drain the water and refresh the peas in ice water.
step-2
Into the processor put the peas, nuts or sunflower seeds (I'm not friends with pine nuts, so always use sunflower seeds, and advise You if there is a need to replace the product), cheese (I had Pecorino Pecorino Sardo maturo, but Parmesan will do), garlic, oil and fresh herbs. A few words about herbs: I used a mixture of parsley, mint and onion-sinitta. Well suited also Basil, tarragon, lovage. Grind all the ingredients to a thick sauce. To taste, as needed salt and pepper.
