Ingredients
Scale
Black Eyed Pea Hummus
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 1/2 cups cooked black eyed peas, drained
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Smoked paprika for sprinkling
- Red pepper flakes
- Maldon sea salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic: Place the peeled garlic cloves in the bowl of a food processor or a high-powered blender and process until finely chopped. This releases the garlic’s flavor for a smooth hummus base.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the cooked black-eyed peas, extra-virgin olive oil, tahini, fresh lemon juice, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper to the garlic in the food processor. Process everything together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully combined.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil, then sprinkle with additional smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, Maldon sea salt, and black pepper to your taste for added flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use.
Notes
- Use well-cooked black-eyed peas for the creamiest texture. Canned black-eyed peas are a convenient alternative; just rinse and drain well.
- Adjust the amount of smoked paprika and red pepper flakes according to your preferred smokiness and heat level.
- This hummus can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a spread on sandwiches.
- For a nuttier flavor, toast the garlic lightly before blending, if desired.
