Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups dried black-eyed peas
2 slices thick-cut bacon
1/4 bunch fresh thyme
2 tomatoes, quartered
5 dried red chile peppers
5 cloves garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish

Juice of 1 lemon
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Combine the dried peas, bacon, thyme, tomatoes, chiles and garlic in a large pot. Season with salt and pepper and pour the chicken broth over top. Simmer over medium-low heat until the peas are tender, about 1 hour.

BLACK-EYED PEA SALSA / RELISH



Black-Eyed Pea Salsa / Relish image

Call it a relish....call it a dip....call it a salsa...or call it a side dish...I call it delicious! A friend of mine got this recipe from "The Pioneer Woman cooks" website, but I've changed a few things and added some of my own stuff. Even if you don't like Black-Eyed Peas, you'll like this! Even my little girl gobbles it up when I make it.

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon brown mustard
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper (fresh is best)
4 stalks celery, finely chopped (leaves and bottom cut off)
3 green onions, sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 jalapeno (optional)
cilantro, chopped (to taste)
2 (12 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
8 ounces canned white corn, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl (because this makes a lot!), combine oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • 2. Add celery, green onions, bell pepper, cucumber, jalapeno, and cilantro. Mix into dressing until well covered.
  • 3. Add the corn and peas (make sure the cans are drained and rinsed). Mix well.
  • 4. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, but it tastes better if you let it sit a little longer.
  • I will use this as a topping for grilled chicken, or you can eat it like a dip (by serving it with corn-chips). I've even added twisty pasta to it and made it into a pasta salad. Enjoy!

BLACK EYED PEA SALSA



Black Eyed Pea Salsa image

I first had this salsa at a house warming party served with tortilla chips. It was the first thing to go, everyone loved it. I found it's an excellent side to grilled pork tenderloin. I've served it cold and hot; I think it's good both ways but my husband did not like it as much hot. It's a very healthy dish and a great way to get your veggies in for the day. It's one of the recipes that I actually like black eyed peas in.

BLACK EYED PEA RELISH



Black Eyed Pea Relish image

Great side dish or appetizer. I am ALWAYS asked for this recipe whenever I serve it. This is a fusion recipe that has taken some tasty ingredients from many areas. Use a processor to make the chopping easy and fast. Seems like a lot of ingredients but most are just spices that are normal pantry staples. This goes together very quickly and is really easy to take to pot lucks or picnics. Stores and keeps really well too.

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:

  • Choose the right black-eyed peas: Dried black-eyed peas are best for this recipe. Fresh or frozen black-eyed peas will not hold their shape as well.
  • Soak the black-eyed peas overnight: This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
  • Cook the black-eyed peas until they are tender but still hold their shape: Overcooked black-eyed peas will become mushy.
  • Use a variety of fresh vegetables: This will give the salsa a more colorful and flavorful appearance.
  • Add some heat to the salsa with chili peppers or cayenne pepper: This is optional, but it can really give the salsa a kick.
  • Let the salsa chill for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Black-eyed pea salsa is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dip, a topping, or a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover black-eyed peas, and it is also a healthy and affordable option. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious black-eyed pea salsa that will be enjoyed by everyone.
