Roasted Garlic and Green Pea Dip

It looks like guacamole but it isn't! I wanted to make this dish for months but without a food processor I couldn't. So I was super excited about this dish because it is bright green, healthy, and different than other dips, but I was disappointed. Yes, the picture is sorely lacking. The dip was definitely edible, particularly with a good cracker, but even with a whole head of roasted garlic, it still had that pea taste. This dish tastes better chilled than when it is warm. Perhaps the next time, I need to add even more garlic than I did.
