I've always loved to cook. I also love hummus and bacon, but needed to make something green for this contest. It took a few tries to come up with a recipe everyone loves. Hope you do, too! —Frances Kay Bouma, Trail, British Columbia
Ingredients:
2 cups frozen peas
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 cooked bacon strips, chopped

2 garlic cloves
1 to 2 teaspoons minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper
assorted fresh vegetables or crackers
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add peas; cover and cook for 1 minute. Drain and immediately place peas in ice water. Drain and pat dry.
2. Place peas in a food processor; add the cheese, bacon, sour cream, oil, lime juice, garlic, chipotle pepper and pepper. Cover and process until smooth. Serve with vegetables or crackers. Yield: 1-1/2 cups.
