Pea hummus, also known as arveja hummus, is a fresh and light twist on the classic chickpea hummus. This easy and quick recipe requires no cooking, as it is made with pre-cooked peas, yogurt, and spices, achieving a creamy texture and a mild, sweet flavor. It is ideal as an appetizer, starter, or light dinner, served with toasted bread, crudités, or salty crackers.
The origin of this preparation is inspired by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, where hummus is a staple. The version with arveja adds a different touch and a vibrant green color that catches the eye on the table. Additionally, it is a healthy option, low in calories and rich in plant-based protein and fiber.
To give it a crunchy and salty touch, crispy Serrano ham is added, which contrasts perfectly with the smoothness of the puree. Decorating with cherry tomatoes and corn adds freshness and color. You can customize the recipe with other spices like cumin or paprika, or even substitute the yogurt with a vegan version to suit all tastes.
