I thought I would provide a slightly healthy relief from my recent Bunny Party recipes with a Fast Diet recipe idea...
Green Pea Hummus.
After the past few weeks/months of indulging a little too much, travelling and trying new foods, and working my butt off with wholesale orders, I've kind of let my eating habits suffer a little.
And I have felt the impact on my hips!! So, hello Fast Diet, I am back!
If you read A Cup of Jo you would have seen this one listed a few months back, and I pinned it and have basically waited for a rainy day! Well, that rainy day was yesterday.
I adapted the recipe slightly, as I wanted to bulk it up a little, so used chickpeas instead of tahini, but it was delicious this way, so I'll probably keep to the adaptation.
This makes two generous servings, which I had with carrots and celery for a delicious pre-dinner snack that was low-calorie and highly satisfying.
Ingredients
1 cup frozen peas, cooked until tender, drained and cooled
1/2 cup chickpeas, drained
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup fresh coriander/cilantro
2 cloves garlic
Juice from one lime
Method:
1. Pulse all ingredients in a food processor until a chunky-smooth consistency
Season to taste and then enjoy with freshly cut vegetables or with crackers if you're not Fasting!
Did you try the original recipe out from A Cup of Jo? Do you make your own hummus?
Psst!! If you are looking for a little more meg-made, I'd LOVE for you to follow along!
Ooooh, this sounds so interesting Meg! I love peas and the flavour of peas, so I'm sure I would enjoy this. I know my girls would LOVE it! I was going to make homemade hummus the other day but I didn't have any tahini. You could have just solved the problem!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Wishing you a lovely day.

Perfect, you should definitely give it a go! I would pulse it a little longer next time to make it a little runnier, but otherwise, mmm yummy! xx
