"Mmm... bacon." - Homer Simpson
The refrigerator light goes on...
I chose to use bacon instead of tahini, the traditional fat used in hummus, because its rich, Southern flavor would give this a down home feel. The sage adds to the savory flavor and the red pepper flakes offer a bit of zing at the end.

| 1 | slice bacon |
| 2 15 ounce can | no salt added black eyed peas (drained and rinsed) |
| 1/2 | lemon (juiced) |
| 1 Tbsp | dried sage |
| 1 small | shallot |
| 1 clove | garlic (minced) |
| 1/8 tsp | red pepper flakes |
| 1/2 tsp | salt |
| 1/2 cup | non-fat yogurt |
Place the bacon in a pan over medium high heat. Cook slowly so that the bacon doesn't crisp but renders the bacon fat into the pan - about 20 minutes total. Let cool.
Combine the bacon, bacon fat, black eyed peas, lemon juice, sage, shallot, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and yogurt in a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
Process until smooth.
Chill for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator.
