BLACK EYED PEA & CHORIZO HUMMUS (ZWT-8)

Steps:

• Heat med-sized sauce pot on med-high heat. Add chorizo to render fat & brown.
• Reduce heat to med. Add onions + garlic & cook until tender (about 5 min).
• Add cans of black eyed peas w/their liquid & bring mixture to a boil. Cook for 2 min & reduce to a simmer. Reduce liquid by half.
• Add cream cheese, tahini, cumin, lemon juice, parsley & lemon zest. Combine well.
• Transfer mixture to a food processor (or blender) to puree (I will use my hand-held blender for this). Drizzle in olive oil slowly. Puree until smooth (for about 5 min). Remove & refrigerate until ready to serve.
• *To Serve* - Garnish w/a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, parsley or a sprinkle of paprika. Serve w/grilled bread & raw veggies for dipping.
• *Note* - The recipe said it served 4, but I see it as much closer to serving 6 as an appy.

Puree until smooth, adding the reserved liquid as needed to keep everything moving. Taste and add additional jalapeno pepper, cilantro, and salt, if desired.
• Spoon into a bowl and smooth the top. Scatter on optional garnishes, if desired, and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with pitas, pita chips, veggies, or whatever else you like to dip in hummus!
