Green Tambourine Sesame and Pea Spread

[Guest guest]

This is an old favorite that I never tire of.

Try making it with the black sesame seeds, they have more flavor.

 

 

Green Tambourine Sesame and Pea Spread

 

1/4 cup sesame seeds

2 tbls. butter or margarine

1 large onion, diced

1 garlic clove, minced (I use 2)

1 (10-oz.) pkg. of frozen petite peas, thawed

1/4 cup dry sherry

1 tsp. salt

1 tbl. nutritional yeast (optional) I use it

2 tsps. lemon juice

 

In a dry skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium high heat, stirring until

toasted and they start to pop, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

In a med. saucepan over med. heat melt the butter and saute the onion and

garlic until softened, 3 to 4 mins.

Add peas, sherry and salt, cover and reduce heat to low, and cook until peas

are soft, 4 to 5 mins.

Stir in nutritional yeast and lemon juice. Let cool for 5 minutes.

In a blender or food processor, puree pea mixture. Add the sesame seeds and

process until well

blended. Serve chilled with crackers, pita chips, spread on bread or use as

a vegetable dip.

Makes 2 cups. Prep time: 5 minutes. Cook time: 10 to 13 mins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Drop your silver in my tambourine

Help a poor man fill a pretty dream

Give me pennies, I'll take anything

Now listen while I play

My green tambourine.
