Ingredients
1 can (15 oz / 400g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup spinach leaves (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1-2 garlic cloves, minced (to taste)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup water (or more if needed for desired consistency)

Instructions
1. Prepare the Vegetables:

If using frozen spinach or peas, make sure to thaw them completely. If using fresh spinach, wash and pat dry the leaves.
2. Blend the Houmous:

In a food processor or blender, add the chickpeas, peas, spinach, parsley, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and cumin. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add water (one tablespoon at a time) to reach your desired consistency.
3. Adjust the Flavor:

Taste the houmous and adjust the seasoning. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired, depending on your preferences.
