1 1\/2 pounds fresh peas in pods or about 1 1\/2 cups already shelled or frozen and defrosted
\n1\/4 cup plain yogurt
\n2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
\n1 tablespoon lemon juice
\n2 tablespoons water
\n1\/4 teaspoon ground cumin
\n1\/4 teaspoon paprika, smoked if you have it
\n1\/4 teaspoon salt
\n1 scallions, thinly sliced
\nToasted pitas, cut into wedges, for serving<\/p>\n

Cook peas:<\/span>\u00a0Have ready a colander and an ice bath, and bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Blanche peas for 30 seconds (if you like them with a real residual snap) to 1 minute (for a slightly more yielding pea) and drain them, then immediately shocking them in the ice water. Drain the peas again and pat them dry on a large towel.<\/p>\n

Crush peas:\u00a0<\/span>Using a potato or egg-masher (and hopefully not an annoying one like mine, with\u00a0holes the exact size of peas<\/a>!), muddler or meat pounder (be gentle!), lightly crush the peas. Aim for mixed textures, some left whole, most in halves and a few a little more broken up. Put them in a large bowl.<\/p>\n

Make dressing:\u00a0<\/span>Whisk together tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, water, cumin, paprika and salt. You might be tempted, as I was, to swap the water with olive oil but don\u2019t do it \u2014 it makes a horrible curdled mess you will be sad to have to toss.<\/p>\n

Assemble:<\/span>\u00a0Mix peas with about 3 tablespoons of the dressing, to start, then add more to taste. Sprinkle with scallions. Heap pea mixture on toasted pita wedges.<\/p>\n
