Ingredients
- 15 oz (1 can) Canned black-eyed peas
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Tahini
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Ground paprika
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black-eyed peas in a colander under cold running water.
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a food processor, combine the black-eyed peas, garlic cloves, fresh lime juice, olive oil, tahini, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Process the mixture until it is smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend again until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, lime juice, or spices if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and green onion.
Serve the Black Eyed Peas Dip with pita chips, raw veggies, or crackers. Enjoy!
