    Smoky Spicy Black Eyed Pea Hummus is another unique and delicious interpretation of this very versatile dip.

    Black eyed peas haven’t been on my radar very much I have to admit, until recently. A local restaurant that I discovered uses them in different dishes so, because of that, they caught my attention.

    A New Year’s Tradition

    At New Year’s I noticed many people posting recipes using black eyed peas which I thought was interesting. As I since learned, it is considered to bring good luck and wealth to eat black eyed peas sometime in the day on January 1st. This has become a Southern U.S. tradition having it’s roots in West Africa.

    Well, this isn’t New Year’s but let’s just consider these as “good luck beans” whatever time of year it is, okay?

    Different Beans Different Properties

    Hummus is usually made with some variety of bean and beans are a good source of plant-based protein. Each variety is a little different from each other in look, texture, carb and fiber content, calories, protein content and minerals.

    But, no matter which ones you choose, all beans are nutritious, a high fiber food and are budget friendly. They’re a healthy protein source for vegans and vegetarians and actually all eaters for that matter.

    A few simple ingredients in this Black Eyed Pea Hummus

    In order to make this Spicy Smoky Black Eyed Pea Hummus you need:

    • Black Eyed Peas
    • Tahini
    • Fresh Lemon Juice
    • Garlic
    • Chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (small cans found in the Hispanic section of most grocery stores)
    • Smoked paprika
    • Salt
    • Water

    bowl of black eyed peas, lemon, garlic, tahini, cumin, salt, smoked paprika and chipotle pepper

    Easy Peasy To make in 15 minutes

    • Basically, all you need to do is combine all the ingredients together in a food processor with the metal S blade.
    • Turn it on and process from 2 to 4 minutes until you get the consistency you want.
    • And THAT’S IT – voilà – delicious homemade hummus!
    • The smoky and spicy flavor using the chipotle pepper in adobo sauce and the smoked paprika can be adjusted if you prefer a stronger and spicier flavor.

    No Food Processor no problem

    If you don’t have a food processor, this same combination of ingredients can be combined in a blender. Blend until you get the consistency you want and enjoy!

    To serve

    Serve this dip with corn tortilla chips, cucumber slices or wedges, different color bell pepper sticks, pita bread, crackers, carrot sticks and on and on and on…

    Just have a great dipping party!!

    Since hummus isn’t the prettiest color by itself, a little garnish of color using chopped fresh parsley and smoked paprika goes a long way!
