3/4 teaspoon cumin
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup tahini
1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 Cook peas in a saucepan of boiling salted water 6 to 10 minutes. When sweet and
tender, immediately remove the peas from the boiling water with a slotted spoon
and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Let sit until the peas are

consistency is achieved.
