Amount Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1              pound frozen green peas
2        Tablespoons tahini paste -- sesame seed paste
                        juice of 1 to 2 lemons -- fresh squeezed
2        Tablespoons vegetable oil
2             cloves garlic -- to 3 cloves, peeled
1           teaspoon ground cumin -- level
     1/2         bunch fresh parsley -- washed
                        salt and pepper -- to taste
                        To serve: -- extra-virgin olive oil & a pinch of cayenne

Bring the peas to a boil in a pan of water and cook for around 5 minutes,
then drain and refresh under cold running water.

Pop them in the blender along with the tahini, lemon, oil, garlic, cumin,
and parsley. Give it all a quick whizz - it will probably be far too
stiff, so add about 2 Tablespoons cold water to loosen it up. Season it to
taste, and serve it in a bowl with the olive oil and cayenne
drizzled/sprinkled on top. Yummy.

Serves 6 to 8

AuthorNotes: Same thing - only green. And much easier to prepare at the
last minute. I am, of course, working on the principle that everyone keeps
frozen peas in the their freezer. Again, this dish is best served fresh.
Although, unlike real hummus, this actually freezes pretty well. It is, if
anything, even more versatile - try this with crispy onions as a baked
potato filling.
