Hummus - Green Pea

Although hummus is usually made from chickpeas, this green pea version is really good and has a beautiful green color....guest are always pleased and surprised by this twist on something that has become an hors d'oeuvre staple. 1 cup frozen green peas 1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained 1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt, Greek-variety recommended 1 medium scallion(s), chopped 1/2 cup dill, fresh 2 tsp fresh lemon juice 2 tsp olive oil, extra-virgin 1 medium garlic clove(s), or more to taste 1/2 tsp ground cumin, or more to taste 1/4 tsp table salt, or more to taste Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add green peas and return to a boil; simmer until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Place peas and remaining ingredients in a food processor or blender; process until smooth. Serve dip immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 2 days. Yields about 1/4 cup per serving.
