Green Pea Edamame Hummus Dip | Snack Dips & Spreads (HEALTHY AND VEGAN)

tahini

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Start with fresh edamame beans and green peas (or frozen, defrosted and lightly blanched).

Add the edamame beans to the bowl first, then add the green peas.

Sprinkle in a tiny quantity of salt.

Add a teaspoon of cumin seeds for flavor.

Add a large clove of garlic (or two small cloves), snipped with scissors, into the bowl.

If desired, add a tiny quantity of green chili for spice (optional).

Squeeze in the juice of almost half a lemon into the mixture.

Add fresh mint leaves and fresh coriander leaves for flavor.

Pour in a tiny quantity of water and add tahini (store-bought or homemade).

Combine all ingredients and transfer to a blender or food processor.

Blend until it becomes a nice smooth paste, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

Ensure the mixture is thick and creamy with a vibrant green color.

Transfer the paste into a bowl and level the surface on top.

Sprinkle nigella seeds (or toasted black sesame seeds) on top for contrast.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the hummus.

Add chopped blanched edamame beans for texture and bite.

Sprinkle red chili flakes and fresh mint leaves on top before serving.
