MEAN CHEF - 12:05am Sep 14, 1999 EST
This is a great recipe: TEXAS CAVIAR FROM THE COWGIRL HALL OF FAME RESTAURANT
3 16-oz cans black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed of all juice
1 small jar chopped pimentos, juice included
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, green part only
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon Worchestershire sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
3 fresh jalapeño chiles, chopped
1 firm, ripe, chopped tomato
2 cups vinaigrette
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
3 cloves fresh garlic, pressed or minced
In a large bowl, stir all ingredients very well. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight, in a sealed
or covered container. Remember the longer it sits, the better it gets!
Serve with old-fashioned saltine crackers or with corn tortilla chips.

I like this recipe a lot, too. I used black beans instead of black-eyed peas & it was fine. This makes a TON (48 ozs of beans alone).

My family loved this - sure it makes a lot but day by day it just keeps getting better. Mine didn't last too long though.

Love this, love tthis, love this. Make it at home and at work for catering. Try it w/ fired roasted Jalapenos. Hot hot hot.

CM,
This is very similar to a black-eyed pea dip in Paula Dean's book - Paul Dean Celebrates. She uses Rotel tomatoes though - like many good Texas cooks. Also throws in some corn.
