Pea and Mint Hummus
Pea and mint hummus with frozen peas is an easy, healthy appetiser or savoury snack. Use it as a dip or serve it as a healthy sandwich spread or filling.
Equipment
- Blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 300 g frozen peas
- 5-6 sprigs mint
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the peas to boiling water and cook as per packet instructions (usually 2-3 minutes).
- Drain the peas in a sieve. Hold under running cold water for a few seconds to cool the peas down.
- Add the cooked peas to a blender or food processor. Add the olive oil, mint, lemon juice and seasoning. Blitz until you have a smooth puree.
Notes
- For an oil free pea and mint hummus, replace the olive oil with fat-free yogurt.
- For a Middle Eastern twist, use tahini rather than olive oil.
- Alternative herbs can be used if preferred. Soft leafy herbs work best. Basil and peas are a great combination.
- For a spicier dip, use chilli oil rather than olive oil.
