Mississippi Caviar (Eating black eyed peas on New Years Day brings good luck!)
Ingredients:
- 4-5 Cups cooked Black Eyed Peas (about 1 pound uncooked)
- 2 Red Bell Peppers, diced
- 1/2 Cup Green Onions, sliced (white part and 3-4 inches green part)
- 1/3 C Olive Oil (or as you like it)
- 2 Jalapeno Peppers or 1 1/2 T Jalapeno Sauce (or as you like it)
- 2 1/2 Lemons or Limes, juiced
- 2 T Dijon Mustard
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 t Sea Salt
- 1 t dried Thyme
- 1 1/4 t Agave
- 1 1/4 t Tabasco
- Fresh Ground Pepper
Directions:
Drain Beans. Add all other ingredients and toss well. Let stand to develop flavors or chill if you like. Serve at room temp or chilled with Arabic bread/pita.
Notes:
This recipe is adapted from an old cookbook of my Mom’s but I can’t remember the name! I often add other veggies like Carrots or Cucumbers. This makes a lot, so spread the luck and share it with friends!
