Spicy Black Eyed Pea Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, garlic, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Add the black-eyed peas, tomatoes, peppers, celery, onions and parsley and toss to combine. Season with salt to taste.

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, add bacon and render until crisp. Remove the bacon to the paper towel-lined plate. To the same pot with rendered bacon fat, add the garlic, chiles, bay leaves, and dried peas and stir to combine. Pour in the chicken stock and add the tomatoes. Simmer over medium-low heat for 1 hour until peas are tender.
• Transfer about 1 to 2 cups of the peas to a blender and puree until smooth. Place the blended peas back into the pot and stir to incorporate. Add the thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue to cook for another 15 minutes. Place in a serving dish and dress the peas with the lemon juice, green onions, cilantro and bacon before serving

Steps:

• In an electric mixer or large mixing bowl, mix together the peas, Cheddar, jalapenos, 3 tablespoons of the reserved jalapeno juice, butter, garlic powder and onion until blended. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the dip in a medium slow cooker and serve it warm with corn chips.

• Soak and rinse the peas then cook according to package directions (or use three 15-ounce cans of black-eyed peas); drain and set aside.
• Whir together the jalapeño peppers, onion, and garlic in a food processor until smooth; set aside.
• Over high heat in a double boiler over boiling water, combine the butter and cheese and stir together until the cheese is melted.
• Lower heat to medium and add the green chilies, cooked peas, pepper mixture, and remaining ingredients and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Pour into serving dish and serve immediately, hot, with tortilla chips.
• Some folks add about a 1/2 cup of cooked corn to the dip, as well, but I prefer it without.
• If you're diabetic and avoiding carbohydrates, you can substitute black soybeans for the peas and it'll taste pretty much the same but will be much lower in carbs (and higher in fiber).

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook the bacon slices, until crisp.
• Remove the bacon, crumble and set aside to use as a topping for the finished peas.
• Saute the onion in the bacon drippings until tender.

• Puree the cooking liquid with the tomatoes and garlic in a blender. Dress the peas with the puree and give it a final seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Top with cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:

• Place peas in heavy medium saucepan. Add enough water to saucepan to cover peas by 2 inches. Let stand 30 minutes. Drain. Add water to cover peas by 2 inches. Generously salt water. Stir in 1 garlic clove. Boil until peas are very tender, adding more water to pan if necessary, about 1 hour.
• Using slotted spoon, transfer peas to processor. Process until smooth. Add remaining garlic clove and next 3 ingredients. Pulse until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer dip to 8-inch-diameter pie plate or quiche dish. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a skillet; cook and stir the orange bell pepper, celery, carrot, onion, and garlic in the hot oil until the onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes.

Stir in the chipotle peppers, about 1 tablespoon of the reserved adobo sauce (or to taste), liquid smoke, cumin, and black pepper.

Steps:

• If using left over black-eyed peas, include any of the ham or bacon seasoning to enhance the dip.
