Meh, found it bland and lumpy. Definitely need salt and garlic perhaps

We love this dip. It is so easy to make and you can adjust the amount of chilli to taste. I also add a pinch of salt. I would recommend that you make it as close to when you want to eat it though as it does separate a bit (can be stirred back together) but the peas do seem to lose their lovely…

I made this last weekend to take to a BBQ, it was pretty tasty, and a great alternative to hummus etc. I only used half a chilli, nervous about making it too spicy for people (and pregnant me) and I think that was enough.
