Purple Hull Pea Hummus

Written by Lizzy Burgess on . Posted in Recipes.

Ingredients:

  • 3 Cups Shelled Purple Hull Peas
  • 1 Onion
  • 4 Pieces of Bacon
  • 5 cups Water
  • 1/4 c. Lizzy B’s Seasoning – Grandpa Dave’s Original

Instructions:

Chop an onion and add the bacon to a pot. Sweat the onion with the bacon for 4-6 minutes, the bacon is not meant to crisp up. Add the purple hull peas, Grandpa Dave’s seasoning, and water. Stir and cook at a simmer for around 2 hours or until the peas are soft. You may need to add water during cooking, you do not want the peas to cook dry. When peas are soft, pull out the bacon and pull off most of the excess broth. Do not discard the broth. Blend the peas with an immersion blender or regular blender until smooth. Add reserved broth if needed to achieve a good hummus consistency. Let cool and enjoy on crackers, with vegetables or however you like your hummus.
