Pea and mint Houmous

Definitely in a super Green Mood today :) But as my fridge is almost empty and I am a bit lazy to go out and pick up some fresh veggies... I went for a green pea houmous :) 5 min to put together the ingredients and super simple as you just need a high speed blender after that ! Love sweet peas and mint combo. Eaten as a dip on pita bread or in a wrap it is delicious. I also had it with vegan lentil patties and it was supper yummy. See for yourself =)

1. 3 cups of frozen peas, thawed (if you use fresh them cook them but keep them firm) 

2. 1 to 2 cloves of blanched garlic according to taste

3. 3 to 4 tablespoons lemon juice (I prefer it a bit more tangy:) 

4. 1/2 cup mint leaves

5. 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

6. 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (you can omit it if you don't like it spicy)

7. 1/2 teaspoon of ground sea salt

Place peas, mint, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice in your high speed blender and puree it until you get a smooth texture.

Transfer it to your serving bowl and  drizzle with additional extra-virgin olive oil, seeds (pumpkin, or black sesame), cracked pepper, a few peas and mint leaves. Nb: if you are not vegan, it is very good with crumbled feta cheese on top !
