HOT AND SPICY CHEESY BLACK-EYED PEA DIP

Steps:

• 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).
