Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweet peas (fresh or frozen and thawed)
  • 2 cups (540ml) canned chickpeas, drained
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.

Notes

Add more water as needed.
If using fresh peas, steam them lightly or boil them for a few minutes until tender. I used frozen (thawed) peas and they worked perfectly without cooking.
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
This hummus is very flavorful, so if you prefer a milder hummus, try using only 1 garlic clove.
