Fresh Pea Hummus #SundayFunday

By

 

Today the Sunday Funday group is celebrating Easter a little bit early...or rather inspiring you with Easter side dishes. Thanks to Stacy of Food Lust People Love, Sue of Palatable Pastime, Rebekah of Making Miracles, and Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm for coordinating this low-stress group. 

And, for this event, Wendy is hosting. Here's the line-up of our Easter side dishes from the #SundayFunday bloggers...

Fresh Pea Hummus

Pea hummus is the perfect addition to a table of starters alongside lots of cheese, charcuterie, nuts, and veggie crudités for Easter or any other Spring celebration.


The hardest part of this recipe is shelling the fresh peas.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh shelled peas
  • 1/4 cups fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cups fresh parsley
  • 4 Tablespoons tahini
  • 4 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground salt
  • veggie crudités for serving

Procedure
Place peas in pan and cover with water. Bring the pan to a boil. Cook until tender, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.


Peel and press your garlic cloves. In the bowl of a food processor or blender, pulse peas, cilantro, parsley, tahini, lemon juice, pressed garlic, and ground cumin until desired consistency. Season to taste with salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

That's a wrap on our Easter side dishes #SundayFunday event. Next week we'll be sharing interesting ham sandwiches. Stay tuned!

    I think that shelling peas is very soothing though especially if it is nice enough to be sitting on the porch while doing so.

    Shelling peas used to be one of our favorite summer activities. When they are super fresh, a lot would get eaten straight out of the pods. I miss those days. Love the vibrant green of your dish, Camilla!

    Lovely way to use fresh peas. I love shelling peas, the softer tender peas always go in my mouth!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
