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!

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few.

Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
