Green Pea Hummus RecipeGreen peas often get a bad rep. For some reason, it’s the cliché food that many kids simply won’t eat. But because they’re super affordable and a great source of plant-based protein, it’s nice to have a few recipes in your arsenal that make good use of them – like this Green Pea Hummus! Now, when I first put together this hummus recipe, I honestly wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did. After all, is hummus really hummus without chickpeas? Technically no, but making it with green peas is a light and refreshing change. It’s also got a tad bit of sweetness which is a nice balance to the garlic. The optional basil leaves take these attributes to another level and I highly recommend using it them if you have some lying around. Be sure to save a few for garnishing as well! One other advantage of this pea hummus recipe is how easy it is to make. Chickpeas are much denser and thus typically require a high-powered blender if you want to get it smooth in a reasonable amount of time. Because green peas are so soft, you can do this with pretty much any blender to get it smooth. READ MORE: CARROT & GINGER SOUP RELATED: VEGAN PROTEIN? BUT WHAT ABOUT FIBER?! You can also use a potato masher, fork or even a mortar and pestle if you don’t have any high-tech gear on hand. If you do go the mashing route, you may want to try overcooking the peas slightly so that they don’t roll everywhere as firm peas sometimes do. For this hummus recipe, you can even use split peas that have been cooked and cooled which will be easier to mash with a fork. INGREDIENTS:
