75% of African Americans have trouble digesting lactose, as well as 65% of the total human population. Thankfully, there are some lactose free options that provide comparable amounts of calcium to dairy- Black-eyed Peas and Collard Greens being among my top picks.
Black-eyed Peas And Collard Hummus:
For Hummus:
2 cups boiled black eyed peas or canned (drained and rinsed)
1 head of roasted garlic (roast head of garlic with olive oil in oven for approx 35 min)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tbsp tahini paste (subs – sunflower seed butter or nut butters)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and Pepper TT
For Collard Greens:
1/2 bunch collard greens
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth for my vegetarian followers)
1 tsp red pepper flakes
Salt and Pepper TT
Sauté collards in olive oil and broth for 10 minutes. (Add more chicken broth if needed) Sprinkle with 1 tsp red pepper. Finely chop and place to side.
Pulse all hummus ingredients together. Mix in greens with spoon. Top with extra red pepper flakes.
