Ingredients

  • 1 can (19oz/540ml) white beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup fresh peas, blanched
  • ¼ cup parsley leaves
  • ¼ cup mint, leaves
  • ¼ cup dill, roughly chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons almond butter or tahini
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons water, plus more as needed
  • Salt and cracked black pepper
  • Serve with your favorite raw vegetables and herb lavosh or crackers
  • Wasabi peas, kale leaves, mint sprigs for garnish, optional

Directions

  1. Combine the white beans, peas, herbs, garlic, tahini, cumin, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment or blender. Blend hummus until smooth, about 3-4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. If too thick, blend 2-3 tablespoon of water to thin it out and make the hummus creamier. Season with salt and pepper. Hummus will keep for up to 1 week in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
  2. To serve fill a bowl with hummus into a small bowl, place on a large platter. Garnish the hummus with some wasabi peas, and herbs. Serve with herb lavosh and raw vegetables.
  3. Note: This dip is also incredible to serve up with grilled veggies or used as a spread in a wrap or sandwich in school lunch boxes as well.
