Add fresh mint to the boiling water for a quick blanch at the last second.

Scoop out the peas and mint and transfer them to a food processor.

Add a whole mess of extra virgin olive oil to the food processor.

Zest a lemon and add the zest to the food processor, avoiding the pith to prevent bitterness.
