Pea hummus

/5

PRESENTATION

Pea hummus is an original springtime variation of the typical Middle Eastern dish, chickpea hummus, to be enjoyed as an appetizer, spread on toasted bread crostini or served with pita or falafel, in the traditional way. We've kept the tahini from the original recipe, an aromatic sauce made from sesame seeds, which gives this ancient cream its distinctive flavor. To speed up the preparation we used a blender, a valid alternative to a pestle and mortar. Try our recipe and experiment with other delicious variations of homemade hummus:
