BLACK-EYED PEA HUMMUS
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.

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.
- Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Combine garlic and oil in a small cup and let stand while oven heats.
- Brush garlic oil on 1 side of each pita. Arrange pitas, oiled sides up, in 1 layer on a large baking sheet. Bake in middle of oven until toasted, 12 to 15 minutes (pitas will not be completely crisp). Stack pitas while still warm and cut each into 6 triangles (24 total). Cool, then transfer to a plate or basket to serve with hummus.
- Cook peas in a saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, 6 to 10 minutes. Drain and cool.
- Coarsely grind cumin seeds in an electric coffee/spice grinder or crush with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a food processor. Add cilantro and garlic (to taste) and finely chop.
- Add peas, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and purée.
ENGLISH PEA HUMMUS
Though the healthful and now mainstream Middle Eastern dip we know as hummus typically includes chickpeas and sesame tahini, this adaptation contains neither. Rather, its similarly smooth texture comes from the natural starch and protein of the English pea. In the summer, I make a variation of this using blanched field peas of any variety, and I substitute thyme for the spring herbs and fresh garlic in place of the early green garlic of spring.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan over high heat, bring 3 quarts water and 1/2 cup kosher salt to a boil. Prepare an ice bath of 3 quarts water and ice with 1/2 cup kosher salt stirred in until dissolved. Add the shelled English peas to the boiling water and cook until tender, 2 to 4 minutes. When sweet and tender, immediately remove the peas from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and transfer to the ice bath to stop the cooking. Let sit until the peas are fully cooled, 1 to 2 minutes, then drain.
- Combine blanched peas, green garlic, mint, chervil, lemon, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a food processor and puree until smooth. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Serve with crudités or Crackers.

Tips:
- For the smoothest hummus, use a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Soak the peas overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking. This will help them cook evenly and reduce the cooking time.
- If you don't have time to soak the peas, you can boil them for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but it will not taste as good.
- Add the tahini, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt to the food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
- Add the cooked peas and blend until the hummus is smooth and creamy.
- Taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve the hummus immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Conclusion:
Fresh pea hummus is a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Serve it with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables for a satisfying and nutritious meal.
