Super Healthy Green Pea-Sesame Hummus Recipe

Hello Everyone!  I'm so sorry its been several months since I have been able to visit here at Mom4Real.  Thanks Jessica, for letting me share this recipe.  It's one of my fave go-to snacks...a super healthy Green Pea-Sesame Hummus Recipe!

 Yep, it's healthy.  But, I figure if you eat it with a bunch of

Garlic Pita Chips you can get your junk food quota in, too. 

I have something funny to share.

Every week, I host a weekly series at The Everyday Home

called Tasty Tuesday.  Last week, I featured one of

my family's favorite breakfast foods.

Homemade Sausage Gravy and Biscuits.

The title of my post was

"Homemade Sausage Gravy:  It Ain't Purty!"  

When I am planning a recipe and a blog post, the first thing that

comes to mind is "this is one of my fave recipes and I want

to share it with everyone."

In the future, I think it needs to be.... "this is one of my fave

recipes and I want to share it with everyone and hope it

photographs well."  

Last week, I presented a great recipe - but let's face it folks.

It was Greige. Griege Food is NOT pretty!  

There is no color.

So this week....

Color, Baby!

But, I promise there is a ton of flavor, too.

 My grandson said it looks like his sister's baby food, but he said it

was good.  So, there you go.  Straight from an 7-year old.  

But, hold on tight, folks.  This recipe is a tough one.

As in "lock the door, grab the apron, put your hair up in a pony -

and prepare to cook" tough.

(total exxageration!)

Here are the ingredients...

(minus the tahini paste which was laying by the sink)

Grab a pad and pencil, because here comes the "cooking" part...

Blanching frozen peas.

It's like Julia Child epic cooking, huh?

3 minutes in boiling water with a tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt.

Drain, then pour cooked peas in a food processor...

Add all the other ingredients, give it a whirly-whirl and let

the magic begin.  Creamy green peas, garlic, sesame flavor,

cilantro, olive oil... it all comes together and creates an

amazing healthy and flavorful snack.

I served it with Garlic Pita Chips, but its also good when served

with veggies.

Next month, I will flip through my handy-dandy recipe card file

and see if I can find something between Greige and Baby Food Green.

 Promise.
