Black Eyed Pea Hummus with Pimiento Relish

Black Eyed Pea Hummus with Pimiento Relish  

I've been making this black eyed pea hummus every New Year's Eve for the last 3 years and it's always a hit. An ideal way to get those black eyed peas in (which you must!!) and doubles as a great healthy option to keep snacking on in the week ahead! I hope it brings you and yours all the luck this coming year!

For the Black eyed Pea Hummus:

• 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

• 1 cup canned black eyed peas, drained and rinsed

• ¼ cup drippy tahini

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1/3 cup water, or as needed to blend

• 3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

For the pimiento relish:

• 3 tablespoons jarred diced pimientos, drained and rinsed

• 1 tablespoon salted pepitas

• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced

• 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

• Pinch of kosher salt

• Drizzle of good olive oil

• Flaky sea salt, for garnish (optional)

Method:

1. Add all of the hummus ingredients to a blender and pulse until smooth, adding water as needed to reach your desired consistency and season to taste. Spread the hummus evenly in a serving bowl and set aside.

2. In a small mixing bowl, combine all the relish ingredients. Spoon the relish over the hummus in a ring formation (for extra festive effect!) and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Serve with cucumber, snap peas, carrots and/or crackers.
