Green Pea Hummus
Who does not love celebrating St. Patrick’s Day by eating lots of food. One dish I enjoy making for St. Patrick’s Day is this green pea hummus!! Not only does it taste amazing it is packed with fiber, protein, vitamins, and antioxidants. The vitamins from the peas will help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease. The fiber in the peas could improve digestive health and have soluble fiber which encourages healthy blood sugar and lipid levels. Peas have vitamins and minerals that are essential and play important roles in the body. Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by making this amazing and delicious green pea hummus!!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 10
Ingredients:
· 15 oz can of chickpeas- not yet drained (garbanzo beans)
· 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
· 2 tablespoon tahini
· 2 teaspoon lemon juice
· 1 clove of garlic (minced)
· Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions:
Drain the chickpeas over a bowl to collect the liquid (aquafaba), then add the chickpeas to a blender or food processor.
Run the frozen peas under hot water to thaw, then also add them to the blender, along with the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper as well as 4 tablespoon of the aquafaba.
Blend for a few minutes until thick and creamy. You may need to scrape the sides down periodically. Add a little more aquafaba if necessary to get it to a thick and creamy consistency.
