Notes
- *If you’re using fresh green peas, steam them briefly to soften before blending.
- Look for a smooth, drippy quality tahini paste for the creamiest texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Stir before serving and add a splash of water or olive oil if the hummus thickens too much.
- Hummus is also freezable. Simply store the hummus in an airtight container, leaving some room for expansion while freezing. Freezing can slightly impact the texture, so if it seems dry or thick after thawing, you can stir in a little olive oil to refresh the texture.
