Green pea hummus

I make hummus regularly and I like to jazz it up according to the season or occasion. This green pea hummus is perfect for Summer parties, picnics and barbecues. It’s very much liked by kids - so ideal for kids parties and lunch boxes (instead of cayenne use paprika for them).

  1. Steam or boil the peas for 2 minutes, then rinse them in cold water. Drain.
