Tips/Tricks
- to blanch something is to place it in boiling water for a moment, to refresh means to place it into ice-cold water. The purpose of this is to defrost the peas but also to keep the nice bright green colour
- the hummus is at it’s best the day of making it. It will last for up to 3 days in the fridge BUT it will start to darken in colour as the avocado oxidises
