  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 5 oz fresh asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch spears
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lightly-packed parsley or dill
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • additional olive oil, cooked asparagus spears, peas, and fresh herbs for topping
  • vegetables or pita chips for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine chickpeas and baking soda, covering with water. Simmer over medium-high heat before reducing to medium-low for 15-20 minutes until some skins float and chickpeas become puffy.
  2. Drain the chickpeas, discarding any loose skins. Rinse thoroughly with cold water, then transfer to a food processor or blender.
  3. Use the same pot to bring fresh water to a simmer, then add the asparagus. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until tender, then cool immediately in ice water. Drain and place in the food processor with the chickpeas.
  4. Bring the pot back to a simmer and add the peas. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bright green, then cool in ice water, drain, and add to the food processor with the chickpeas and asparagus.
  5. Add tahini, olive oil, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, cumin, and paprika to the food processor. Blend on high for 3-5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, garnishing with olive oil, pops of asparagus, peas, and parsley if desired. Serve with your choice of dippers.
