Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Black-eyed Peas

    If using dried black-eyed peas, soak them in water overnight. Rinse and cook in boiling water for about 30 minutes until tender. If using canned, simply drain and rinse.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the cooked black-eyed peas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or smoked paprika according to your preference.

  4. 4

    Prepare Paprika Oil

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil with a sprinkle of smoked paprika to create a paprika oil.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with paprika oil, and top with chopped kalamata olives. Serve alongside sliced cucumbers, toasted pita, or both.
