For a smoother texture and better flavor, start by combining the green peas, chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and mint in a blender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This specific order of ingredients allows them to blend more uniformly before adding the oil.
Turn the blender on and slowly drizzle in the olive oil while it runs, allowing the mixture to emulsify and become creamy. Drizzling the oil slowly helps create a smoother, more stable emulsion.
If the hummus is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Gradually adding water ensures that the hummus doesn’t over-thin.
For contrast in texture and to enhance the overall taste, serve the hummus with a variety of fresh vegetables such as carrots, celery, and bell peppers. The crunchiness of the fresh veggies complements the creamy dip perfectly.
