Easy Pea Hummus

At least once a week I end up eating a big plate of veggies and crackers along side some kind of dip. There's something so rebellious about eating this sort of thing for a meal, but if it's done right you'll most certainly put to shame any other lunch or dinner that happens to be in it's company. I recommend having at least one dip in your fridge every week for those lazy food days -- not only does the simplicity of this hummus make it a winner, but the over all flavors make it a serious contender for the traditional chickpea hummus. 

Get Creative: 

Make this dip once to check out the flavor profile, make it again and add your favorite herb or spice: 

- Chive or Cilantro would be a wonderful addition

- Minced sun-dried tomato and olives would add a wonderful extra kick of flavor 

Fresh Pea Hummus

Yields roughly 2 cups 

Step 1.

Ingredients

• 2 c shelled Green Peas (you can opt to use thawed/frozen Peas if you don't mind them not being "raw")
• 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 3 Tbsp Tahini 
• 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
• 2 tsp minced Garlic (or to taste)
• 1/4 tsp ground Cumin
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Step 2.

Making your Hummus

1. In a food processor combine all of the ingredients and puree for 1 minute.
2. You can puree longer for a more whipped consistency or less for a chunkier and more meaty texture. Either way you really can't go wrong!

That's what I call lunch!
