I'm back with yet another Hummus dish, this time Green Peas Hummus !! This is purely a vegetable hummus unlike my earlier ones.
I'll be honest, I'm not someone who's particularly fond of green peas, rather as a child I would run away from them. Now I have this delish way of eating these lovely beads. The Green Peas Hummus has a lovely texture and a vibrant fresh colour and very quick to make.
Like other hummus, this too is brilliant and healthy in wraps, on crostinis or to just have with crackers.
Green Peas Hummus
Ingredients
1 cup fresh or frozen Green Peas
A handful of green cilantro
2 cloves of Garlic
1 tbsp Tahini
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp Cumin Powder
Salt to taste
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Directions
1. Boil the peas in some salted water. (This should take about 8-10 minutes). Do not cover the pan or the peas will become dull in colour. Drain and cool the peas under cold water. Strain and keep aside.
2. In a food processor, blitz the boiled peas, tahini, garlic, cilantro, lemon juice, cumin powder and salt. Blitz till you get a coarse paste.
3. Add a little olive oil and blitz some more. You should now get a creamy texture.
4. Transfer in the serving dish, dribble some olive oil if you like and serve.
This stays happy in a refrigerator for up to a week.
Happy Cooking !!
