Method:

Place the peas, cashew nuts, feta cheese, garlic and fresh mint in a
food processor and process until the mixture has formed a paste but is
not completely smooth.
With the processor running, slowly drizzle the olive oil through the
funnel.
I only use one cup of olive oil as I like my pesto to be less
runny, if you want a looser pesto, use 1.5 cups of olive oil.
Taste the pesto and adjust the seasoning with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
To store, place in a air-tight jar and drizzle olive oil over the top before placing the lid on.
