# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Place the green peas, cooked chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper into a food processor.
02 -
Blend until the ingredients are smooth and well incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed for uniform consistency.
03 -
If the hummus appears too thick, gradually add chilled water one tablespoon at a time and blend until it reaches a creamy, spreadable consistency.
04 -
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lemon juice, or garlic according to your preference.
05 -
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and create a slight swirl on top. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with ground cumin, and top with a few whole green peas for visual appeal.
06 -
Serve the pea hummus with pita bread, vegetable crudités, or your preferred dipping snacks.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
For a brighter color and fresher flavor, use young, tender peas. Thaw frozen peas completely or briefly blanch fresh ones before blending.
02 -
Adjust water slowly—over-thinning can create a runny texture. Stop as soon as the hummus is creamy and smooth.
03 -
This hummus keeps well, refrigerated in an airtight container, for up to 3 days.
