Preparation: 
  1. Add the peas, coriander, capers, olives, scallions, garlic, lemon, and olive oil to a food processor or blender and pulse until mixed (but still a bit chunky).
  2. Fold in the mint and parsley
  3. Serve with chips, crackers, or crusty bread of your choice.

This will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days and is best when allowed to rest overnight before serving as the flavors are allowed to marinate a bit.
