    Happy weekend to you all! 

    I don’t usually post on Saturdays, but this week has felt a bit jumbled, so here I am with a nice weekend-appropriate recipe: Green pea hummus with lots of lemon, herbs, and garlic, topped with dukkah-inspired cheesy pumpkin seed sprinkle. It has to be one of my favourite dips yet; green peas are just a bit lighter than the traditional chickpeas, and they lend a gorgeous bright green colour to this hummus. 

    This hummus can be made with fresh or thawed frozen green peas. I used organic, Ontario grown frozen green peas, but if you have fresh, they would be totally delicious here. If using frozen peas, be sure to allow them to thaw completely before making this dip.

    ingredients you’ll need

    For the green pea hummus, you’ll need peas, tahini, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, pepper, dill, mint, and garlic. 

    For the cheesy pepita sprinkle, you’ll need roasted pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds), nutritional yeast, sea salt, garlic, cumin, and coriander.
