As promised, here is another black-eyed pea dish, as a good friend of mine is especially smitten with them and I always do enjoy catering to the preferences of my loved ones. This earthy bean is also a favorite of mine too. This black-eyed pea salsa is a result of a night's brainstorming and it worked out better than I could have imagined. Make sure to dice all of the veggies into small bits for an especially chunky dip that goes well with nacho chips or pita triangles. I would recommend you serve this alongside fresh homemade cornbread too. You will not be disappointed. Best served after a session of a few hours or overnight in the fridge. This is my entry to My Legume Love Affair, a popular monthly event started by my dear friend Susan and hosted this time by Simona.
Black-Eyed Pea SalsaMore black-eyed pea recipes from Lisa's vegetarian kitchen:
1 cup of dried black-eyed peas
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
a dash of chat masala
a dash of cayenne pepper
1 medium tomato, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 cup of black olives, pitted and finely chopped
1/2 cup of marinated sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
juice from 3 fresh limes
1 clove of garlic, crushed
a splash of olive oil
2 Jalapenos, finely chopped
2/3 cup of corn, lightly boiled
Soak the black-eyed peas in enough water to cover overnight. Drain, transfer to a medium-large pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the beans are soft - roughly 45 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Combine the other ingredients with the black-eyed peas. Mash a few times with a potato masher and serve with nacho chips or pita wedges.
Serves 6.

I could eat this all day, every day.
Sounds amazing and I would eat it not just as salsa, but just as a side dish or snack, loving the pic :)
healthy n delicious salsa
Gotta love black-eyed peas! I’ve never thought to make a salsa with them though. I'll have to give it a try.
That sounds good! I've never thought of putting beans in salsa.
I'm not a huge fan of black eyed peas by themselves, but this sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing. ;-D
