I don't know about you, but I’m already feeling my winter extra-five-pounds-for-warmth settling in. (What can I say, I live in the Land Of Pasta.) So I’m craving something green and healthy to eat that’s also fast and delicious. Enter, frozen pea hummus!
I admit it, I'm kind of a pea freak. (I eat this all the time) I just love their sweetness and the fact that you can jazz them up any way you like with lots of lemon juice, or fresh mint or chili powder or sage; the possibilities abound. And there’s no limit to how you can eat the hummus too: on bruschetta, mixed in with pasta, as a dip for veggies, spooned on top of fish, as a side dish, or even for a snack.
Thaw a pound bag of frozen baby peas, setting aside some for the garnish. Place peas in food processor with 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, (optional) and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice; process until smooth. Sprinkle with remaining whole peas, drizzle with more olive oil, and serve. Buon appetito!
P.S. Manu says "you're awesome" and thanks you for all of your positive vibes! :) AND I'm at cornflake dreams today with my Christmas wishlist!
