Fresh peas are at their best from July until October and we absolutely love de-podding these bright, luscious vegetables and whizzing them together with chickpeas, garlic, lemon and plenty of fresh mint, to make a wonderfully herby houmous. See method
Ingredients
- 250g peas
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 400g tin chickpeas, drained (2 tbsp brine reserved) and rinsed
- 2 tbsp tahini paste
- handful mint leaves, roughly sliced, plus extra to garnish
- handful chives, chopped
- crudités, to serve
- griddled pitta, to serve
If you don't have chickpeas, you can use any tinned bean in water

Method
- Cook the peas in a pan of boiling water for 2 mins, or until just tender. Drain and run under cold water, then drain again.
- In a food processor, whizz all but a handful of the peas with the garlic, oil, lemon zest and juice, chickpeas and brine, tahini and herbs, until smooth. Season.
- Fold through the remaining peas, then spoon into a bowl. Drizzle with a little extra oil and garnish with the extra mint leaves. Serve with pitta and/or crudités, as you prefer.
