Ingredients:
1 cup dried black-eyed peas, soaked in water for at least 1 hour
2 large La Morena chipotle chillis plus 1 tsp adobo sauce
3 Tbl tahini
4 Tbl olive oil
3 Tbl lemon juice
¼ tsp ground cumin 3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and coarse black pepper, to taste
Olive oil to garnish
Ground paprika, to garnish
Dried parsley, to garnish
Directions:
Rinse black-eyed peas, place in a saucepan and cover with water. Boil and then lower heat. Cover peas and let cook for about an hour, or until soft. Drain, but keep liquid in a separate bowl. Let peas cool slightly and then place in a food processor.
