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.

BLACK EYED PEA HOT DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In food processor, pulse drained black eyed peas with garlic cloves until smooth. Add softened cream cheese, chili powder and cayenne pepper and pulse to mix.
• Put mixture in 8 inch pie pan. Top with shredded cheese.
• Bake 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and dip is bubbly. Top with chopped green onions and serve with your favorite tortilla chip.

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).
