Pea Hummus

This is so fresh and bright and such a fun change from regular hummus. I saw this recipe on Cup of Jo and wanted to try it out. I didn't follow the directions exactly, but made it just like I usually make hummus - a little of this and a little of that. It was delicious. Jamie, my pea lover, adored it.

Ingredients:

1 box frozen peas

juice of 1/2 a lime

big handful fresh cilantro, rinced

1 large clove garlic

2 big tsp tahini

1 1/2 tbsp olive oil

a little water

salt and pepper

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp cumin

Directions:

Cook the peas until soft and thawed - a couple minutes in a sauce pan with some water. Drain and run under cold water until cool.

Add peas, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, cayenne, cumin, and tahini to a food processor and blend, adding a little water if necessary to thin it out. 

Season to taste with salt/lime/cayenne/cumin.

Serve with pita chips and carrots.
