KIM'S BLACK-EYED PEA DIP



Kim's Black-Eyed Pea Dip image

I'm sort of a snob when it comes to trying new recipes. I just seem to like my old tried and true ones best, and it takes a lot for something new to grab my attention. I had to have the recipe for this dip after I tried it on Super Bowl Sunday 2006. Garth is a die-hard Steelers fan, so it was an exciting day. Everybody always brings something for the party, and this was my friend Kim's contribution. Being a good southern girl, I love anything with black-eyed peas in it, but for you folks who are right now turning up your noses at the idea of eating black-eyed peas, all I can say is just try it. In fact, maybe I should name it something else for those skeptics. How about Pea Dippy?

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Spreads

Time 20m

Yield 1 LARGE batch

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups dried black-eyed peas
2 -5 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped, to taste
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 ounces butter
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 (4 ounce) can chopped mild green chilies
1 tablespoon lime juice (not sweetened)
1/4 cup sour cream
1 slice well-cooked bacon, crumbled
1/4 cup chopped green onion
Tabasco sauce, to taste

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).
