Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup whole almonds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh English peas (from 6 to 8 ounces in pods)
6 tablespoons ricotta
6 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (3/4 ounce)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 2 teaspoons fresh juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast until fragrant and golden throughout, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil; add peas. Return to a boil; cook 1 minute. Drain; run under cold water. Pat dry.
  • Pulse almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Add peas, both cheeses, oil, and lemon zest and juice; puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Hummus can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.

I'm going to try making this spread with different types of nuts and seeds. I think it would be great with pistachios or sunflower seeds.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I used cream cheese instead. It was still delicious.

I didn't have any almonds on hand, so I used walnuts instead. It still turned out great!

The spread turned out a little too thick for my liking, but I just added a little bit of water and it was perfect.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover peas. I always have a bag of frozen peas in my freezer, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
