For the Hummus
 2 Cans black-eyed peas, drained
 ½ cup Tahini
 1 Lemon
 6 Roasted garlic cloves (1 small head of garlic)
 ½ cup Olive oil
 ½ tsp Cumin
 2 tbsp Ice cold water

 Salt to taste
 Fresh parsley, chopped
For the Chips
 ½ cup Zaatar spice blend
 1 Bag of Greek-style pitas
 Olive oil, for finishing

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 375-degrees F.

To a food processor, add drained black eyed peas, tahini, and the juice of 1 lemon then pulse the mixture until smooth.

2

Add roasted garlic and cumin and pulse once more. Next, add in the half cup of olive oil slowly until fully combined.

Finally, stream in the ice cold water slowly and blend the entire mixture until it's smooth.

3

Taste the hummus, making sure that it has enough salt and garlic to your liking.

Once it's ready, move the hummus to a bowl, and top it with a drizzle or a heavy stream of olive oil, a sprinkle of Berbere or smoked paprika/cayenne, and chopped fresh parsley.

4
