Ingredients

2 cups (300 grams) Frozen peas
2 tablespoon (40 grams) tahini paste
4 tablespoon lemon juice
½ tablespoon lemon zest
3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoon Zaatar, plus more to sprinkle
15 large mint leaves
1 small garlic clove
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Cook the peas according to their package directions. They take 2-3 minutes in boiling water and approximately 3 minutes in a microwave. Cook them just until tender but still bright green (don't overcook), then rinse them in cold, runny water. Reserve 1 tablespoon of peas for garnishing if you wish.
Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. Pulse or blend until completely smooth. If anything gets stuck or the hummus appears too thick, simply add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or water.
Taste, make sure you're happy with the seasoning. You might want to adjust the final flavor with a bit more salt or lemon juice. Blend again until well combined.
Transfer the green pea hummus to a small serving bowl, garnish with the reserved peas and a sprinkle of zaatar, and serve with crunchy veggies, crispy crackers, or pita bread. You can also store it in the fridge, ready for your next sandwiches and wraps. Enjoy!
