Texas Caviar
A tasty get-rich-quick scheme.
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked black-eyed peas (as they are not in season, I recommend frozen or dried)
- ½ cup chopped green onions (tops and bottoms)
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 1 cup diced tomato
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 medium jalapeño, seeded and diced
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup vinegar (I used red-wine)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Rinse and drain the peas. Add the onions, tomato, garlic, and jalapeño. Add the oil, vinegar, and herbs and mix thoroughly.
- Refrigerate immediately and let marinate for at least 6 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Drain marinade and serve chilled.
