Green Pea Hummus
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 2 cups frozen green peas
  • 1 medium clove of garlic
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • Zest from one lemon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin lemon olive oil or regular extra virgin olive oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon coarse salt
  • Crackers or toasted baguette slices for serving
Instructions
  1. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add peas; cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain; run under cold water.
  2. In food processor, pulse garlic until minced. Add peas, cilantro, tahini, lemon zest and cumin and pulse 30 to 40 seconds.
  3. Add lemon juice and olive oil. Pulse until mixture is smooth (adding a bit more of each as needed to reach the right consistency - a little chunky).
  4. Season with coarse salt.
  5. Serve with crackers or toasted baguette slices.
Notes
To toast baguette slices: slice baguette at an angle and place pieces directly on an oven rack (it may be easier to remove the rack from the oven to do this). Bake at 425°F for 5-6 minutes until crispy. Let cool.
