Fresh Pea Hummus

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 cups shelled peas, fresh or frozen
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Salt to taste
• Food processor

Directions

1. Set a small pot over medium heat and warm the olive oil. Stir in the chopped onion and cook until it turns tender and glassy, without letting it brown, about 4-5 minutes.
2. Add the peas, pour in the water, cover the pot, and bring everything to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes, then drain the peas and onions.
3. Transfer the peas and onions to a food processor and add everything else. Pulse until the mixture is a coarse purée. Serve chilled.
