BLACK EYED PEA AND CORN SALSA



Black Eyed Pea and Corn Salsa image

This is a yummy and healthy salsa given to me by my friend, Laura. I could eat it as a meal with baked Scoops. I am thinking about adding some black beans next time. (I found the Tiger Sauce near the hot sauces in the grocery store. It is sweeter than Tabasco or Texas Pete.)

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh black-eyed peas and corn for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh black-eyed peas, you can use frozen or canned black-eyed peas, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • Don't overcook the black-eyed peas: Black-eyed peas should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked black-eyed peas will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a variety of peppers: This recipe calls for a combination of jalapeño and serrano peppers, but you can use any type of peppers that you like. For a milder salsa, use fewer peppers or remove the seeds. For a spicier salsa, use more peppers or leave the seeds in.
  • Add some sweetness: The sweetness of the corn balances out the heat of the peppers in this salsa. If you don't have corn, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey to the salsa.
  • Let the salsa sit for a while before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can serve the salsa immediately, but it will be even better if you let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

This black-eyed pea and corn salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, or any other gathering. The combination of black-eyed peas, corn, peppers, and spices creates a salsa that is both flavorful and refreshing. So next time you're looking for a new salsa recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
