Ingredients

  • 15 oz chickpeas or 2 cups cooked, canned
  • ⅔ cup peas frozen
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ bunch cilantro plus extra to taste
  • 3 TBSP parsley fresh
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ tsp salt or to taste, sea salt
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes or to taste
  • 3 TBSP water
  • 2-4 TBSP pistachio chopped
  • olive oil to taste (optional, harrissa infused, drizzle

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Steam your peas and set aside to cool.
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine chickpeas, peas, tahini, olive oil, and most of your cilantro. I would add maybe half the bunch [stems removed] to start and then work your way up depending on taste preferences. I saved several springs for garnishing [you should totally do this too!] and put the remainder in my hummus.
  3. Blend to incorporate.
  4. Scrape down the sides and add your garlic, salt, red pepper flakes [optional] and water.
  5. Blend until deliciously creamy.
  6. Dive in with achip for a taste-test and add more of your favorite ingredients if desired More oil, tahini, or water will thin out the hummus, more red pepper flakes will add heat and you can even add some lemon or lime juice to add some zest to the dip!
  7. To fancily, spike a spoonful or two of harissa olive oil with chopped cilantro and pistachio and drizzle over the bowl. Make extra if you're like me, so you can keep adding more topping as the dip disappears. Yum!
