I know that there is a really good recipe out there for this… but I can’t find it. So this is my own alternative recipe until I find the one that is exact. This one is still really tasty though. 🙂
1 finely chopped tomato
1 finely chopped onion
1 cup of fresh corn from the cob or can of sweet corn (or shoe-peg)
1 can beans (you could use black eyed peas or pork-n-beans or whatever you like)
4 or more jalepeno’s
1 can chopped or sliced olives, I didn’t have sliced so I used chopped
2 tsp. garlic pwd
2 tsp. onion pwd
salt
pepper
Mix together and put it in the fridge for an hour or longer.
Serve with chips or as a side with your Mexican Fiesta!
Ole’!
This is our version:
Mississippi Caviar
1 pound dry black-eyed peas
2 cups Italian-style salad dressing
1/2 cup diced jalapeno chile pepper
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
2 ounces diced pimento peppers, drained
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups diced green bell pepper
1 pinch ground black pepper
Directions:
Place black-eyed peas in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 90 minutes, or until black-eyed peas are tender.
Drain black-eyed peas. Cover with Italian-style salad dressing.
In a large bowl, mix together jalapeno, onion, pimento peppers, garlic, green bell pepper, and ground black pepper. Toss in black-eyed pea mixture. Chill in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight before serving.
It' a lot like yours but uses italian dressing. Oh, it's soooo good.
