Yellow Pea Hummus
A dish that's perfect for snacking — give it a try! Hummus is a fun appetizer that's hugely popular around the Mediterranean — and let me tell you, for good reason. It's especially nutritious, packed with plant-based protein, vitamins B1 and B2, and antioxidants. My family loves legumes, and peas in particular, so this new snack was an instant hit. And the recipe is quite simple.

- First, rinse the peas and soak them for 10–12 hours. Then boil them until tender (usually about an hour). Drain off the cooking water into a separate container. Purée the cooked peas with a blender, adding back some of the drained cooking liquid as needed — the consistency should be like a smooth mash. Toast the sesame seeds in a hot dry skillet for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, then blend them with half the olive oil, a little lemon juice, and some water until you have a paste — this is tahini. Stir the tahini into the pea purée. Press in a clove of garlic, add the spices, the rest of the olive oil and lemon juice, and salt. Blend everything together once more until perfectly smooth. That's it — the hummus is ready! Spread it on a crisp piece of bread and enjoy!
