TEXAS CAVIAR



Texas Caviar image

In Texas caviar, black-eyed peas and chile peppers are layered with mustard seeds, fennel seeds, or oregano and cumin, and then pickled. These three variations can be used as side dishes or condiments. Try all three in separate one-pint jars; or use a three-pint jar and make just one, tripling the spice mixture of your choice.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Makes 3 pints

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups Traditional Black-Eyed Peas
4 sprigs fresh oregano
2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds
2 small fresh serrano chile peppers or other hot chile peppers
1 small Hungarian wax pepper, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
2 teaspoons whole mustard seeds
2 small dried red-chile peppers
2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes
2 teaspoons whole fennel seeds
2 1/4 cups white or cider vinegar
2 tablespoons coarse salt

Steps:

  • In a 1-pint canning jar, using 2 cups traditional black-eyed peas, alternate layers of peas with oregano, cumin seeds, and serrano chiles. In a second jar, layer 2 cups peas with wax peppers and mustard seeds. In a third jar, layer remaining 2 cups peas with chile peppers, red-pepper flakes, and fennel seeds. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, combine vinegar and salt. Heat until mixture just comes to a boil. Pour 3/4 cup vinegar mixture over each jar of peas to cover all layers. Seal jars. When mixture cools to room temperature, refrigerate at least a week and up to a month.

COWBOY CAVIAR



Cowboy Caviar image

Depending on where you're from, this simple dip is known as cowboy caviar or Texas caviar, and it's a favorite at tailgates and potlucks all over the South. Its creator, Helen Corbitt, a dietitian from New York, had never heard of black-eyed peas when she moved to Texas in 1931. The exact details are fuzzy, but at some point in her 40 years working in restaurants there, she combined black-eyed peas with a simple vinaigrette, and it was a big hit. The recipe has evolved over the years, and you can find a number of variations online. Some contain corn and black beans (as this one does), and others avocado. Some call for bottled Italian salad dressing, others homemade. No matter how you tweak it, it's always good with a pile of tortilla chips.

Time P3DT5m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 16-ounce cans black-eyed peas
