Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) dry yellow split peas rinsed & drained
  • 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) water
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) tahini
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) curry powder plus more for garnish
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) warm water or more
  • cold pressed canola oil or olive oil for drizzling on top

Directions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine dry peas and water. Cover and bring to a gentle boil then reduce heat and simmer until peas are very tender and soft, about 25-30 minutes. Drain, rinse, and cool.
  • Add cooked peas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, curry powder, and salt to a food processor or blender and process, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until smooth.
  • With the motor running, add warm water until you get to your desired consistency. This hummus will thicken as it stands.
  • Serve with additional curry powder sprinkled on top, plus a drizzle of oil.

Tips

  • Regular table salt can be used in place of kosher salt, but use 1/4 tsp and adjust after tasting.
  • If you want a more creamy texture, add 2-3 Tbsp (30-45 mL) oil when blending all the ingredients together in step 2.

Loved it!! (Where can I buy Canadian pulses, the ones I find don’t list country of origin.)
