Green Pea Hummus
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen green peas
- 1 medium clove of garlic
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- Zest from one lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin lemon olive oil or regular extra virgin olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
- Crackers or toasted baguette slices for serving
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add peas; cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain; run under cold water.
- In food processor, pulse garlic until minced. Add peas, cilantro, tahini, lemon zest and cumin and pulse 30 to 40 seconds.
- 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).
- Season with coarse salt.
- 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.
