- ¾ cup cooked chickpeas
- 1 small garlic clove peeled
- 2 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Add 1 cup of water to green peas. Cook them in microwave for 3 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly and drain all the remaining water.
- Add all the ingredients listed above to a food processor jar.
- Blend everything on puree mode until it gets to a creamy consistency. Add water and more oil if necessary to get the desired consistency. Serve as an appetizer or use in other dishes.
Notes
- Use a blender to blend the hummus if you do not have a food processor.
- Consider adding fresh baby spinach leaves or parsley to increase the intensity of green color in the hummus.
- Save chickpea water after cooking to use for adjusting the consistency of the hummus while blending.
- Roasted peas for garnishing: Roast about ⅓ cup of additional green peas with 1 teaspoon oil in a small frying pan until they are light brown in color (see photos above). Use them as toppings and for garnishing the prepared hummus.
- Additional garnishing: Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle some smoked paprika on top of the hummus in addition to the roasted green peas.
