PREPARATION SHORTCUT
You can buy canned black-eyed peas to make preparation quick and easy. Bonus this recipe is great to repurpose leftover black-eyed peas too.
Ingredients
Substituting chickpeas with Black Eyed Peas gives the classic dip a very smokey flavor you will not regret. Black-eyed peas are a legume and are available dried and frozen but for this recipe to keep it simple we recommend buying the canned already cooked peas. The peas have a earthy, savory smoky flavor. Chickpea's taste are much milder and you'll see them in a lot of vegan recipes substituting for things like eggs and tuna because of this. One cup of peas has a little more protein than chickpeas 14g compared to 11g but less fiber 6g compared to 9g.
