Green pea hummus

500 grams peas-I used fresh-boiled very briefly in water. Cool.

3 cloves garlic, crushed

3 tablespoons tahini paste

½ teaspoon cumin powder

1 tablespoon olive oil + a tad extra for garnish

½ teaspoon black pepper powder

Juice of 1 lemon

Red chilli powder for garnish

Combine all the ingredients in the food processor and pulse for a few minutes, or till it forms a smooth paste. Garnish with a little olive oil and red chilli powder.
Hummus has a tendency to thicken in a few hours. It keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Serve with crackers,pita, crudités.Use left overs in sandwiches or as a dressing…
