Method

In a blender, purée the half a cup of walnuts, garlic, lemon juice and water. Add a little more water if the tarator sauce is too thick.
In a pot of boiling water, cook the peas for about 1 minute. Remove and refresh in ice-cold water to retain the green colour.
Coat the peas with the sauce and stir in the onion slices. Season to taste.
