I made this on a whim to take to a friends dinner party. It was so easy to make, and the end result was a dip that no on had ever tried before, but really enjoyed. It has a very earthy taste and goes really well with spicy foods. TRY IT!!!
Ingredients:
1 (19 ounce) can black-eyed peas
1/4 cup sweet onion, diced
1/4 cup red pepper, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1 tablespoon pickled jalapeno pepper, minced
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 pinch sugar
1 garlic clove, crushed through a press
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
8 slices bacon, cooked, chopped and cooled
Directions:
1. Mix the black eyed peas, onion, red pepper, celery, and jalapenos in a bowl.
2. Whisk the vinegar, sugar, and garlic in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil. Stir into the beans and season with salt and pepper.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days.
4. Just before serving, stir in the cilantro or parsley and bacon if using. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at room temperature.
