Spicy pistachio and pea spread

We spread this on our bread at evening meals and on our breakfast whole wheat rolls.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup pistachios
• 1& 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed
• 1 tbs. olive oil
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 3/4 tsp. curry powder
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tbs. lemon juice

Directions:

1. Shell the pistachios.
2. Place the thawed peas in a food processor.
3. Add all of the ingredients and puree.
4. Transfer to a 1-quart (1 liter) saucepan and gently heat until thoroughly warmed.

Note:

This bright green spread also makes a great dip for vegetables.
