Background

This vegan zingy pea hummus is not only fresh and zesty, but has a bit of warmth to it. If you don’t want it spicy, leave out the chilli or remove its veins. It's a perfect dip at a spring/summer garden party or serve it as a sauce for falafels, vegan burgers, grilled lamb etc.!

Ingredients

1 cup green peas
2 cloves of garlic
1 green chilli, deseeded
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
zest and juice of 2 lemons
1.5 cup cooked chickpeas (or 1 tin)
1 Tbsp tahini paste
1 Tbsp chopped mint leaves
1 Tbsp chopped basil leaves

Instructions

Steam the peas over a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes, drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside (keep the cooking water).
In a food processor, whizz the chickpeas, garlic, oil, chilli, lemon zest & juice, tahini and herbs, until you get a coarse paste. Add the peas and some cooking water. Whizz again until you get a smooth paste.
Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Garnish it with some mint/basil leaves, olive oil, chilli flakes and/or freshly ground pepper.
