Pea Hummus

Method

1. Add the chickpeas to a pot of cold water along with the bicarbonate of soda. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, transfer the peas to a large bowl and cover with hot water straight from the kettle. Leave to sit while you continue the next step.
3. Once the chickpeas are ready, drain them and add them to a large bowl of cold water. Rub the chickpeas between your fingers to remove and discard as many skins as possible. Then drain the chickpeas and add them straight to a food processor.
4. Next, drain the peas and add them to the food processor along with the parsley, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and generous pinches of salt and pepper. Process the hummus for a minute or so, then add 3 or 4 ice cubes depending on how thick you like your hummus. Continue processing for another 5 minutes or until super smooth.
5. Transfer the humus to a serving plate or bowl and top with a drizzle of olive oil, as well as some sesame seeds and chilli flakes.
