Instructions

Drain and rinse black-eyed peas.

In a food processor, add black-eyed peas, tahini paste, lemon juice, garlic clove, salt and pepper.

Secure lid and pulse multiple times until a paste is formed, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.

Once combined, turn food processor on low and begin drizzling olive oil into the top of the machine until desired consistency is reached. Note: Your hummus should be smooth and creamy but still hold up if you run the back of a spoon through it.

Taste and adjust salt, if needed. Serve with pita crackers or cut vegetables.

Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cook and Cool Black-Eyed Peas Properly 🫘
Soak dried black-eyed peas overnight, then simmer until completely tender (about 45 minutes), and cool them thoroughly before blending to achieve the creamiest, smoothest hummus texture.
Emulsify with Tahini Technique 🥄
Add tahini paste gradually while the food processor runs, as this helps create a stable emulsion that prevents the hummus from becoming grainy or separating over time.
Extract Maximum Lemon Brightness 🍋
Use fresh-squeezed lemon juice rather than bottled, and reserve some juice to stir in at the end of blending to preserve its bright, acidic notes that cut through the richness.
Roast Garlic for Complexity 🧄
Roast your garlic cloves in a dry skillet or oven before adding to the hummus to mellow the sharpness and develop sweet, caramelized notes that elevate the traditional Greek flavor profile.
Finish with Premium Olive Oil 🫒
Drizzle a high-quality extra virgin olive oil on top just before serving, as the delicate fruity notes won't survive blending but will shine as a finishing touch with fresh black pepper.
