English Pea Hummus

---

ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked English peas (may use frozen, thawed)

• 4 scallions, minced

• 1/3 cup finely minced parsley

• 2 tablespoons cashew butter (or use tahini)

• 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon agave nectar or honey

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• Black pepper to taste

• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper

• Salt and pepper to taste

directions:

1. Place the peas along with the remaining ingredients in a food processor or blender and process to blend. Scrape down the sides of the bowl several times during the puréeing process to make a smooth and creamy mixture.

2. Transfer to a container, cover tightly and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to merge. Serve the “hummus” with crackers, bread or crudités as an appetizer or use as a filling for sandwiches and wraps.
