Hummus is one of the easiest and most delicious foods you can make. And it’s healthy too. I love this Black-Eyed Pea Hummus served with pita chips but it’s great with cucumber slices, carrots, and red bell pepper slices.
You can use regular canned black-eyed peas, but for extra flavor, look for seasoned black-eyed peas and just drain them, don’t rinse them.
You will need some tahinifor this recipe. Look for it at the store next to the peanut butter. It will stay good in the fridge for several months after opening and you can use it to make all different kinds of hummus.
This fun southern twist on hummus is sure to be a hit. It’s creamy, smoky, and spicy and great for entertaining all year long. Especially New Year’s when you need to ring in the New Year with a little good luck.
