This hummus is so delicious, I can’t stop eating it. And it’s a great colour, so it looks nice on a plate, too! The peas are naturally sweet, and the truffle oil is a delicious ingredient.
Ingredients
2 cups green peas, fresh or frozen
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
2 Tbsp pecorino, parmesan, or Romano cheese
1 tsp truffle oil
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh chives
salt & pepper to taste
1-2 Tbsp of water if needed
Method
Blanch the peas: boil them for 4-5 minutes, drain, then rinse with very cold water to preserve the colour and stop the cooking.
Combine ingredients in a food processor and puree until smooth. If necessary, add a tablespoon or two of water.
Serve with crackers, as a dip for carrots and celery, or as a side like you would mashed potatoes.
