PEA HUMMUS



Pea Hummus image

The peas not only make this quick hummus a lovely green colour and add a little extra goodness, but they also give it a sweeter flavour. It's perfect for dipping fresh raw veggies and slices of pita bread. My trick to get hummus really thick and creamy is to use aquafaba (the liquid from the tin of chickpeas) instead of oil. It makes it velvety and fluffy without altering the taste.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

400 g (15 oz) can of chickpeas - not yet drained ((garbanzo beans))
150 g (1 cup) fresh or frozen peas
2 tbsp tahini
2 tsp lemon juice
1 clove of garlic (minced)
Pinch of salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Drain the chickpeas over a bowl to collect the liquid (aquafaba), then add the chickpeas to a blender or food processor.
  • Run the frozen peas under hot water to thaw, then also add them to the blender, along with the tahini, lemon juice, garlic salt and pepper as well as 4 tbsp of the aquafaba.
  • Blend for a few minutes until thick and creamy. You may need to scrape the sides down periodically. Add a little more aquafaba if necessary to get it a thick and creamy consistency.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 (hors d'oeuvre) servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large garlic clove, smashed with flat side of a knife
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (6- to 7-inch) pita loaves with pockets (not split)
2 cups shelled fresh peas (2 to 2 1/2 pounds in pods)
3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and cooled
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 to 2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup well-stirred tahini (Middle Eastern sesame paste)
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Combine garlic and oil in a small cup and let stand while oven heats.
  • Brush garlic oil on 1 side of each pita. Arrange pitas, oiled sides up, in 1 layer on a large baking sheet. Bake in middle of oven until toasted, 12 to 15 minutes (pitas will not be completely crisp). Stack pitas while still warm and cut each into 6 triangles (24 total). Cool, then transfer to a plate or basket to serve with hummus.
  • Cook peas in a saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, 6 to 10 minutes. Drain and cool.
  • Coarsely grind cumin seeds in an electric coffee/spice grinder or crush with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a food processor. Add cilantro and garlic (to taste) and finely chop.
  • Add peas, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and purée.
