Marrowfat peas hummus

My mother has a vegetable garden, and every year she brings me freshly harvested zucchinis, potatoes, multiple herbs, all kinds of berries (rasp/red/Japanese wine/straw), pumpkins (in the near future) peas and more.

This summer she came with marrowfat peas, she gave me the idea to make hummus of the peas instead of making it with chickpeas. Actually you can make hummus out of all kinds of peas accept you do not call it hummus any more. It is delicious to eat it with flatbread, vegetables, with falafel, tabouleh, as a dipping sauce or whatever you like.
