3.
Rinse the peas under running cold water and let them drain.
4.
In a blender, place the peas, mint leaves, garlic and a few tbsp of the reserved boiling liquid. Whiz until coarsely mashed.![Green Pea & Mint Hummus Green Pea & Mint Hummus](https://food.ndtv.com/static/web/images/food-default-205x205.png)
