Sweet Pea Hummus

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 cups shelled peas fresh or frozen
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp tahini
  • 3 Tbsp chopped fresh mint spearmint
  • 2 Tbsp sour cream optional: I left this out because I was trying to limit my dairy
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Red Pepper Flakes for spice, to taste

Instructions

  1. 1) Sauté onions and garlic: (Do I really need to describe this? If you don't know how to saute onions and garlic, I recommend you go check out Youtube real quick ;)  Anyway, add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, but not browned, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. 2) Add peas and water, boil: (Again, pretty sure y'all know how to boil peas, but just in case!...) Add the peas and the water, cover and bring to a boil. Let this cook 5 minutes.
  3. 3) Drain the Peas, Garlic, and Onions: I'm really not explaining this one.
  4. 4) Purée in food processor: Put the peas and onions into the bowl of a food processor and add all the remaining ingredients. Pulse until you have a rough purée. Serve chilled.
