Here's the recipe:
2 cups frozen green peas, thawed 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon water
1/2 cup mint leaves 1/4 teaspoon salt
Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Yield: 1 1/4 cups
I also added one minced dried chile (reconstituted), mostly for purposes of using up the ridiculous amount of chiles we have. And I used more garlic than they called for, because I love garlic so much.
To be honest, I'm not even very fond of peas, and Christopher doesn't even like mint, but we both liked the end result. I might change it up a bit next time, but it's really pretty good served on pita bread. We even used it as a spread on chicken breast sandwiches. The sandwiches were super tasty; the hummus added a ton of extra flavor and goodness. Mmmmm.
Try it, let me know what you think!
