English Pea Hummus

Ingredients for English Pea Hummus

• Kosher salt: 240ml , plus 1/2 teaspoons or more to taste

• 475ml fresh shelled English peas (about 900g unshelled)

• 1 stalk green garlic, chopped (or 1 small garlic clove, chopped)

How to make English Pea Hummus

In a large saucepan over high heat, bring 2.8L water and 120ml kosher salt to a boil. Prepare an ice bath of 2.8L water and ice with 120ml kosher salt stirred in until dissolved. Add the shelled English peas to the boiling water and cook until tender, 2 to 4 minutes. When sweet and tender, immediately remove the peas from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and transfer to the ice bath to stop the cooking. Let sit until the peas are fully cooled, 1 to 2 minutes, then drain.

Combine blanched peas, green garlic, mint, chervil, lemon, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper in a food processor and puree until smooth. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Serve with crudités or Crackers.
