Black Eyed Pea & Chorizo Hummus (Zwt-8) image

On the same dy I signed up for ZWT-8, I stumbled across this recipe by Chef Kenny Gilbert in a random browsing moment. Chef Gilbert competed on Season 7 of Top Chef & is the executive chef of the 50 Eggs Restaurant Group. It was described as a make-ahead appy & Wikipedia surprised me w/the info that black-eyed peas & tahini are both common in Indian cuisine. Hummus is a fave w/us, this is certainly a unique variation of it & the make-ahead aspect always gets my attention. (10 min was allowed for ingredient prep) *Enjoy!*

Time 35m

Yield 1/3 Cup Servings, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cans cooked black-eyed peas (Do not drain)
1/4 cup fresh chorizo sausage, chopped
1/4 cup onion, diced
8 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup cream cheese
2 tablespoons tahini
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat med-sized sauce pot on med-high heat. Add chorizo to render fat & brown.
  • Reduce heat to med. Add onions + garlic & cook until tender (about 5 min).
  • Add cans of black eyed peas w/their liquid & bring mixture to a boil. Cook for 2 min & reduce to a simmer. Reduce liquid by half.
  • Add cream cheese, tahini, cumin, lemon juice, parsley & lemon zest. Combine well.
  • Transfer mixture to a food processor (or blender) to puree (I will use my hand-held blender for this). Drizzle in olive oil slowly. Puree until smooth (for about 5 min). Remove & refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • *To Serve* - Garnish w/a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, parsley or a sprinkle of paprika. Serve w/grilled bread & raw veggies for dipping.
  • *Note* - The recipe said it served 4, but I see it as much closer to serving 6 as an appy.

I'm not a big fan of black-eyed peas, but I really enjoyed this hummus. The chorizo and tahini really balance out the flavor of the black-eyed peas.

This hummus is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my hummus turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much olive oil.

This hummus is really easy to make, but it takes a while to cook the black-eyed peas. I would recommend using canned black-eyed peas if you're short on time.

I found this hummus to be a bit bland. I think it could use more lemon juice and garlic.

This hummus is a bit too spicy for me, but I think it would be perfect for someone who likes a little heat.

This black-eyed pea and chorizo hummus is a delicious and unique twist on the classic hummus recipe. The smokiness of the chorizo pairs perfectly with the creaminess of the hummus, and the black-eyed peas add a nice texture and flavor.
