    Do you love black-eyed peas but are bored of regular black-eyed peas curry or black-eyed peas soup? Then try this black-eyed peas dip, and you will make it often. Serve it with fresh veggies or crackers or nacho chips for a quick evening snack or as party food.

    Ingredients

    Black-eyed peas: I cooked black-eyed peas from scratch to make this dip. You can use the canned black-eyed beans as well. If using canned peas, drain them thoroughly and use the beans. 

    Spices: I used green chili for spiciness in this dip. You can use jalapeno or black pepper powder also. Red chili flakes or smoked paprika also go well.

    Aromatics: Onion and garlic will add so much flavor to this dip. If you do not like raw onion and garlic smell or taste, you can cook them and make this black-eyed peas dip.

    Instructions

    Cook the black-eyed peas

    • Soaking of black-eyed beans is optional. However, if soaking them, soak them for 4 to 6 hours.
    • Wash the beans and add black-eyed peas, water to the Instant pot inner pot.
    • Close the Instant pot with its lid and select manual or pressure cook mode. Cook it for 5 minutes on high pressure for soaked black-eyed peas. Cook it for 16 minutes on high pressure for dried black-eyed peas.
    • Once the Instant pot finishes cooking, you can wait for a natural pressure release or release the pressure manually after 10 minutes.
    • Drain the water and keep the cooked black-eyed peas aside.

    Make the dip

    • Take cooked black-eyed peas into a blender jar or food processor. If using canned peas, drain them thoroughly and use them.
    • Add roughly chopped onions, garlic, green chili or jalapeno, lemon juice, cumin powder, cilantro leaves, salt, and oil.

    • Blend everything as per your desired consistency. If you want to make it creamy, you can use more oil and a tablespoon of water. We prefer to make it chunky and serve it with crackers.

    Recipe Notes and variations

    • Onions are optional in this recipe, but they add so much flavor to this dip.
    • I used fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems to make this black-eyed peas mash. Other fresh herbs like mint, parsley, basil also go well in this recipe.
    • Instead of black yed peas, you can use other beans like black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, or even chickpeas to make this dip.

    Storage

    As we are using raw onions, I do not prefer to store this dip. And if you are using cooked onions or skipping them, you can refrigerate the dip for a couple of days.
    As we can make this dip in less than 10 minutes, if you have cooked black-eyed peas handy, I prefer making this just before serving.

    Serving suggestions

    Serving this dip with fresh veggies or nacho chips makes an ideal snack. I also use this dip as a sandwich spread and taco filling.
