Quick Spicy Black Eyed Pea Dip Recipes

SPICY CHIPOTLE BLACK-EYED PEAS

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. Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker; mix in the black-eyed peas, water, and vegetable base, stirring to dissolve the vegetable base. Stir in the chipotle peppers, about 1 tablespoon of the reserved adobo sauce (or to taste), liquid smoke, cumin, and black pepper.
• Cook in the slow cooker on Low until the black-eyed peas are very tender and the flavors are blended, about 8 hours.

SPICY BLACK-EYED PEA DIP

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the bell pepper, celery, onion, black pepper, Tabasco, ketchup, salt, bullion cubes, nutmeg and cinnamon. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until mixture is boiling and bullion cubes are dissolved.
• Add peas, Rotel, garlic, and sugar and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Stir flour into warm bacon drippings (that way the flour doesn't lump) and stir flour/dripping mixture into peas.
• Cook ten minutes more. Mixture should be thick enough to use as dip. I reserve the liquid from the canned peas "just in case" but usually the thickness is just right or maybe only a little bit of liquid is needed- I wait till the end of cooking to see.
• Scoop a couple of cups of the finished peas out and set aside. Using a blender, food processor, or stick blender, blend the most of the peas to a medium-smooth dip, then return the couple of cups of whole peas back in, stir, and serve. Mashing the most of the peas makes a nice smooth dip that clings to a chip well, while leaving a small portion of them whole makes a nice presentation.
• Serve with Frito Scoop chips or corn bread.
