Spring Pea Puree

Give Peace (and Peas) a Chance

Originally posted on 10/09/2017 for Huffington Post

I may call this recipe spring pea puree, but it’s a perfect — and perfectly addictive — no-cook summer treat.

Flawed as we are, our humanity is the coolest thing about us. It’s what allows us to love, to recognize and celebrate each person’s inner rock star. It allows us to hold on to hope in the face of despair. One of the vegan tenets I hold most dear is the practice of ahimsa, nonviolence. You can also use the Tibetan term tsewa, which also means compassion. Care about animals, but care about each other, too. You don’t even have to be vegan to do it. Caring, love is how we defeat the banality of evil.

Spring Pea Puree

Recipe from my book, Feeding the Hungry Ghost: Life, Faith and What to Eat for Dinner. Nice with roasted or raw vegetables, equally happy to be slathered on crusty whole grain bread.
