Hummus is one of those crowd-pleasing dips that I love to serve as a healthy option. My recipe is Low Country-ified, of course, with black-eyed peas instead of the traditional chickpeas. I like to save a handful of black-eyed peas to garnish the top for a pretty presentation.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 2 1/2 cups hummus

Number Of Ingredients 14

Two 15-ounce cans black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for garnish
3 ice cubes
3 tablespoons tahini paste
2 teaspoons Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
Pita wedges, warmed, for serving
Carrot sticks, celery sticks and cucumber rounds, for serving
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set aside some black-eyed peas for garnish.
  • With the motor of a food processor running, drop the garlic through the food chute until minced. Add the remaining black-eyed peas and olive oil and puree until a smooth, powder-like mixture forms.
  • While the processor is running, add the ice cubes (this helps prevent it from becoming too thick), tahini, House Seasoning and lemon juice. Blend for about 4 minutes. Check, and if the consistency is too thick, add a little hot water. Blend until extra-smooth.
  • Spoon the hummus into a bowl and make an indention in the top. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with the reserved black-eyed peas and a little House Seasoning. Serve with the warmed pita wedges and veggies.

KIM'S BLACK-EYED PEA DIP



Kim's Black-Eyed Pea Dip image

I'm sort of a snob when it comes to trying new recipes. I just seem to like my old tried and true ones best, and it takes a lot for something new to grab my attention. I had to have the recipe for this dip after I tried it on Super Bowl Sunday 2006. Garth is a die-hard Steelers fan, so it was an exciting day. Everybody always brings something for the party, and this was my friend Kim's contribution. Being a good southern girl, I love anything with black-eyed peas in it, but for you folks who are right now turning up your noses at the idea of eating black-eyed peas, all I can say is just try it. In fact, maybe I should name it something else for those skeptics. How about Pea Dippy?
