Yellow pea hummus

For our signature hummus, we use Nordic yellow peas – a sweet and robust alternative to classic chickpeas. Enjoy it in salads, as a dip, or turn it into a creamy, satisfying soup base.

ARKET Recipe Hummus

Ingredients

200g dried yellow split peas, soaked overnight

 

½ red chilli, cut into 3 pieces

 

2 garlic cloves, peeled

 

Juice of ½ lemon

 

5 tbsp olive oil

 

Sea salt

 

Freshly ground black pepper

Method

Soak the split peas overnight. Rinse and place in a pot with the red chilli and garlic, along with 1.5 litres of fresh water and 2 tsp of salt.

 

Cover with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.

 

Drain the ingredients and reserve 100ml of the cooking water. Combine the peas, chilli, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil in a food processor.

 

If the mixture is too thick, add some of the reserved cooking water to achieve a creamy consistency.

 

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
