Recipe by Steven Satterfield
Though the healthful and now mainstream Middle Eastern dip we know as hummus typically includes chickpeas and sesame tahini, this adaptation contains neither. Rather, its similarly smooth texture comes from the natural starch
Ingredients
Kosher salt: 1 cup, plus 1/2 teaspoon or more to taste
2 cups fresh shelled English peas (about 2 pounds unshelled)
1 stalk green garlic, chopped (or 1 small garlic clove, chopped)
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon fresh chervil leaves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
Instructions
In a large saucepan over high heat, bring 3 quarts water and 1/2 cup kosher salt to a boil. Prepare an ice bath of 3 quarts water and ice with 1/2 cup 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 teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a food processor and puree until smooth. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Serve with crudités or Crackers.
