"Humus" of edam beans and peas

Green "humus"

I found this recipe on green "humus" in a magazine called OM... - a COOP magazine. It is very, very good alternative to the usual humus made on chickpeas with it´s wonderful green colour and fantastic flavour, so you should really try it yourself.

Wonderful colour combination
