Black eyed peas, and chili flakes, tahini, apple cider
vinegar, garlic, and these are all things
to make my famous black eyed pea hummus.
OK.
Y'all know how famous it is.
[LAUGHTER]
Kim and I had the same thing.
What?
- And we didn't notice. - Hummus?
You like hummus?
What the hell?
[LAUGHTER]
Can we just watch?
Kim, you don't eat hummus?
No.
I know you don't like vegetables.
I like vegetables in my smoothies, but hummus?
What the--
OK, so everybody did you see that garlic bulb?
All you need to do is just lean on it
and everything pulls apart.
I feel like Alton Brown.
You get that?
[LAUGHTER]
Mine didn't move at all.
It didn't?
That means you have not gained that COVID 19.
[LAUGHTER]
So that's a big one, so cut that in half.
Also, do you all see that stem or that green part
in the garlic?
Mm-hm.
Take that out, because it's bitter.
Oh.
So all I'm going to do is take my knife, and pull back,
and that little thing comes out.
Oh, it smells so good.
I've never thought about that little green thing before.
Yes, it's kinda bitter.
So I'm just smashing my garlic with a knife.
So now what I'm going to do is take my black eyed peas, which
are already rinsed, and I'm putting
them in the food processor.
And I'm gonna put a couple tablespoons of water.
If you don't have a food processor,
you can do this all by hand.
Is this a food processor?
Oh, that's a blender.
[LAUGHTER]
I don't need your judgment, ma'am.
[LAUGHTER]
Beans in here, I put some water,
and then we're going to puree until smooth.
It sounds good, y'all.
How y'all doing?
Good.
Now we're gonna start putting in all those aromatics.
So you're gonna do two tablespoons of tahini,
and this is sesame paste.
Anika, how you doing over there?
I'm looking forward to a black eyed pea salad recipe anyway.
No, let me tell you, black eyed peas,
cucumbers, grape tomatoes, and a hot sauce vinaigrette.
Come on.
And then put your garlic in there,
like a small clove, a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
That's going to give you that zip.
I'm gonna pour about--
How much oil?
--about half this jar.
How much did you send us?
It's about half of this jar.
Kim is like, all right.
Mm-hm.
Yeah, you want it nice smooth, and kind of creamy.
So it should look like this.
Is this right?
Let's see.
Oh, yeah.
Is that really thin?
Oh, yeah that's good.
You all were here when I lost a friend.
[LAUGHTER]
All right, Anika, so what do you think?
I think it's really good.
So while you all are doing that,
I'm going to show you my little platter.
Oh!
One of the things that I love is grilled--
what is this thing called?
Celery?
What are these called?
Celery?
Is that celery?
--is grilled celery.
So in honor of COVID-19, I have taken this cake platter
and put vegetables on it.
