SOUTHWESTERN BLACK-EYED PEA SALAD



Southwestern Black-Eyed Pea Salad image

A popular dish in the Lone Star State, where it is called Texas Caviar, this flavorful salad is sure to become a favorite in your household, too.

Yield Serves 10; 1/2 cup per serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 small white onion, diced
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh jalapeño, seeds and ribs discarded
1 tablespoon canola or corn oil
1 tablespoon water
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 15.5-ounce cans no-salt-added blackeyed peas, rinsed and drained, or 3 10-ounce packages frozen black-eyed peas, cooked

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together all the ingredients except the peas. Stir in the peas. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours before serving.
  • Hot chile peppers, such as jalapeño, Anaheim, serrano, and poblano, contain oils that can burn your skin, lips, and eyes. Wear plastic gloves or wash your hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after handling hot peppers. Most of the spicy heat in a chile pepper, such as the jalapeño in this salad, is found in the seeds and ribs (membranes). Leave them in for maximum heat, or discard them if you prefer a milder flavor.

SPICY BLACK-EYED PEAS



Spicy Black-Eyed Peas image

A wonderful Paula Deen recipe. You know us G.R.I.T.S. (Girls Raised In The South) were raised on black eyed peas. This is a wonderful recipe. Serve these over some rice with some cornbread, and I am home again!!

Provided by SkinnyMinnie

Categories     Beans

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices bacon
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (16 ounce) package dried black-eyed peas, washed
1 (12 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained (Rotel works well)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups water

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, cook the bacon slices, until crisp.
  • Remove the bacon, crumble and set aside to use as a topping for the finished peas.
  • Saute the onion in the bacon drippings until tender.
  • Add the peas, diced tomatoes with green chiles, salt, chili powder, pepper, and water.
  • Cover and cook over medium heat for 45 min to an hour, or until the peas are tender.
  • Add additional water, if necessary.
  • Serve over rice with the crumbled bacon as a garnish.

Tips:

  • Selecting Dried Black-Eyed Peas: Choose dried black-eyed peas that are whole, unblemished, and uniform in size. Avoid any peas that appear shriveled or discolored.
  • Soaking the Peas: Soaking the black-eyed peas overnight or for at least 8 hours helps to soften them and reduce their cooking time. If short on time, you can quick-soak the peas by boiling them in water for 1 minute, then removing from heat and letting them stand for 1 hour.
  • Cooking the Peas: Cook the black-eyed peas according to the package instructions, or until tender. You can use a stovetop, slow cooker, or pressure cooker. Be sure not to overcook the peas, as they can become mushy.
  • Preparing the Dressing: The dressing for this salad is simple and flavorful. Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a jar or small bowl. Shake or whisk until well combined.
  • Assembling the Salad: Combine the cooked black-eyed peas, chopped vegetables, and herbs in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

This spicy black-eyed pea salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It's packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and the spicy dressing adds a nice kick. The salad is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. For example, you can add different vegetables, herbs, or cheeses. You can also adjust the spiciness of the dressing by adding more or less cayenne pepper. No matter how you make it, this spicy black-eyed pea salad is sure to be a hit!
