Chef notes
I love this spin on classic hummus, which was a staple of any gathering back home where I grew up in upstate New York, including holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, parties and football games!
Technique tip: Use the best extra virgin olive oil you can find.
Swap option: You could use any white bean, such as cannellini, in place of the black-eyed peas.
