Method
For the crushed peas:
While the peas are still warm lightly crush them using a fork. Blend in the olive oil and season to taste.
For the dressing:
Cover the garlic with boiling water and leave for 5 minutes. Crush the garlic to a paste. In a small bowl whisk together the garlic, lemon juice and zest, then whisk in the oil and add the oregano. Season to taste with the salt, pepper and sugar.
