Pink Eyed Peas for L.A. Caviar

I'm beginning to get my cooking going for the weekend when my friends arrive. I'm planning a picnic on the beach and want to get some goodies made and put in the fridge. Today, I'm cooking pink eyed peas for my L.A. (Lower Alabama) Caviar. I found a recipe from LuLu's which is the best I have tasted. Serve it with chips or crackers and you can truly make a meal of it. Yum.

Peas


  • 2 1/2 pounds fresh black-eyed or pink-eyed peas, shelled (3 cups)
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 beef bouillon cube
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 T bacon drippings
  • 2 slices salt pork
  • Dash of salt
  • Ground pepper
Cook 1 1/2 hours until tender.




Lucy Buffet's L.A. Caviar

  • 3 (15 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained (I used fresh pink eyes)
  • 1/4 C chopped red onions
  • 3 T chopped green bell peppers
  • 3 T chopped red bell peppers
  • 3 T chopped yellow bell peppers
  • 1/2 C quartered cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 C chopped parsley
  • 1/4 C balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 C olive oil
  • 2 T granulated sugar
  • salt and pepper
It's nice having a kitchen again. The house is smelling good. I'm jamming on some Barry White and I feel like I'm dancing in tall cotton. grin. All I need is my loved ones surrounding me.
