With summer beginning tomorrow, I thought it was time for a refreshing dip recipe. To be honest it feels like it has been summer for over a month in Brisbane so this one is well and truly tried and tested. It could even be an addition to your pre-lunch snacks on Christmas day!
Minted Pea and Cashew Hummus
This is a hummus-inspired dip and yet it is quite far from the original version made with chickpeas. I used peas and cashews as a base and added mint, a great friend of peas! You also may wish to add a small clove of garlic. I couldn't as I was all out.
Ingredients
- 1 cup green peas - fresh or frozen
- 1 cup raw, unsalted cashews
- 1 tbsp tahini - equal to 3 teaspoons
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Juice of one lemon - or to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil - equal to 6 tsp.
- 1/4 cup water
- a handful of fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Whizz all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
- Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice if required.
