Cook this recipe
- baby spinach-2 cups
- canned chickpeas-1 can
- frozen green peas-1 1/2 cups
- shredded carrots-1 cup
- cucumber-1 cup
- garlic-1 clove
- tahini-1/4 cup
- fresh lemon juice-3 tablespoons
- whole wheat pita bread-4 pita
- cold water-3 tablespoons
- extra-virgin olive oil-2 tablespoons
- fine sea salt-3/4 teaspoon
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, thinly slice the cucumber, peel the garlic, and cut the pitas in half to form pockets.
Keep fingers clear of the knife blade while slicing the cucumber and cutting the pitas.
Keep the peas frozen until cooking. Place in a covered, vented microwave-safe bowl with one-third of the measured water and any additional water required by the package. Follow the full package directions, including standing time, until thoroughly cooked to 165°F. Reserve the remaining measured cold water for the hummus; open the lid away from your face.
Open the cover away from your face to avoid hot steam from the microwaved peas.
After the full cooking and standing time, drain the peas, rinse briefly under cold running water until cool, then drain well. Discard the cooking and rinsing water.
Blend the cooled peas, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt and reserved cold water until smooth but spreadable. Stop the machine and wait for the blade to stop before scraping the sides.
Turn the food processor off and let the blade stop before scraping down the sides.
Gently open each pita half and fill lightly with hummus and vegetables, leaving the pocket easy to hold without splitting. Divide all remaining hummus and vegetables alongside for dipping.
Serve right away, or for meal prep, keep the hummus chilled and the pitas and vegetables separate until ready to assemble.
Refrigerate hummus and assembled pita pockets at 40°F or below and do not leave stuffed pitas at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
