Ingredients

• Legumes: 2 cups cooked black-eyed peas (or 1 can, drained and rinsed)

In a food processor, combine the black-eyed peas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt.

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.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a smoky flavor, add 1/2 tsp smoked paprika directly into the blend. You can also experiment by substituting lime juice for lemon to give the hummus a different citrus profile.

Serviervorschläge

This hummus is perfect served with fresh vegetable sticks like carrots and cucumbers, or warm pita bread. For those following a gluten-free diet, it pairs excellently with gluten-free crackers. It also works wonderfully as a protein-rich base for vegetable wraps and sandwiches.

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.
