Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To get the smoothest possible texture, ensure the black-eyed peas are well-cooked or thoroughly rinsed if using canned. Adding the water slowly while the processor is running helps emulsify the ingredients for a light, airy finish.

Fragen & Antworten zum Rezept
- → Kann ich Schwarzaugenbohnen durch Kichererbsen ersetzen?
Ja, Kichererbsen funktionieren hervorragend als Alternative. Die Konsistenz wird ähnlich cremig, though der Geschmack leicht nuanciert ausfällt.
- → Wie lange hält sich der Aufstrich im Kühlschrank?
In einem verschlossenen Behälter bleibt der Aufstrich bis zu 4 Tage frisch. Die Aromen setzen sich über diese Zeit noch etwas besser durch.
- → Ist diese Variande glutenfrei?
Der Aufstrich selbst ist von Natur aus glutenfrei. Achten Sie bei der Beilage darauf, glutenfreies Brot oder Crackers zu wählen.
- → Wie kann ich die Konsistenz anpassen?
Fügen Sie portionsweise Wasser hinzu, bis die gewünschte Cremigkeit erreicht ist. Weniger Wasser ergibt eine festere Textur, mehr Wasser macht ihn luftiger.
- → Welche Beiladen passen am besten dazu?
Frisches Gemüse wie Karotten, Gurken oder Paprika, gegrilltes Pitabrot, Fladenbrot oder glutenfreie Crackers sind klassische Begleiter.
