Oklahoma Black Eyed Peas Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, pickled jalapeno brine, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the oil to make a smooth dressing.
• Add the black-eyed peas, black beans, corn, cilantro, pickled jalapeno, scallions, tomatoes and bell pepper. Toss to coat in the dressing. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend the flavors before serving. Serve with tortilla chips for scooping.

Steps:

• In a medium-sized pot, over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about five minutes. Remove the bacon, crumble it and set aside. Pour off all but about two tablespoons of fat from the pot.

Add the crumbled bacon, tomatoes, sugar, bay leaf, basil, salt and pepper and stir. Then add the frozen black-eyed peas. Simmer for one-and-a-half to two hours, or until the beans are soft but not mushy, adding a little water from time to time if the mixture dries out.
