Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned black-eyed peas
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 6 small cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black-eyed peas, and set them aside.
Finely dice the jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat if desired, and mince the garlic.
In a food processor, combine the black-eyed peas, diced jalapeño, minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture until it is creamy but still slightly chunky, ensuring the flavors are well blended.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and slice the cherry tomatoes into quarters. Sprinkle them on top of the dip as garnish.
Serve the dip immediately with tortilla chips, pita bread, or raw vegetables, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
