This mint pea hummus recipe is easy to make in 10 minutes and perfectly balanced with sweet and savory flavors.
This summer, we spent a month back in Barcelona catching up with friends, soaking up the Spanish sunshine, walking everywhere and reveling in good public transport, and of course, hitting up all of our old favorite markets and restaurants. But I have to say that one of the random foods I was most happy to see again was the hummus con guisantes con menta — mint pea hummus — from my favorite grocery store. ♡
This lovely green hummus used to be a weekly (at least!) purchase for us back when we were living there. The mint and peas add a refreshing hint of sweetness and fresh aromatic flavor to the hummus. And when perfectly balanced with the rich sesame flavor of tahini, hearty chickpeas, a tangy squeeze of lemon juice, garlic and cumin, this hummus is just so delightful. We most often just served ours with pita or crackers and veggie sticks for dipping, but it also tastes wonderful in sandwiches, grain bowls, burgers, wraps, you name it. As a bonus, it was also a great way to get extra veggies into our toddler too!
Anyway, being back in Barcelona reminded us how much we missed having green hummus around. So I snapped a picture of the ingredient label while we were there and set about trying to recreate the recipe once we landed back in Kansas City. And I have to say, I’m very pleased with where this recipe landed!
So the next time you’re craving hummus, grab a bag of frozen peas and some mint and give this one a try. I hope you’ll love it as much as we do!
