Was looking thru my index cards of recipes and saw this.
I haven't done these in a while but they are a good summertime food.
Pickled Blackeyed Peas
2 cans of peas drained
1 cup of oil (i use vegetable)
1/4 cup of vinegar
1 clove of garlic, minced (teaspoon, level)
1/4 cup of thin sliced onions (I like more)
1/2 ts salt
pepper to taste
Stir up and fridge overnite.
Quick stir before serving.
Sometimes I put diced jalapeno's in it ;D
I like the simplicity. Will have to try.
You bringing those index cards to the Smokeout?
Maybe a CD of collections.
When I wrote this out I copied it to my computer file.
Hope you use Carbonite or something to keep it all backed up.
That sounds good Sonny.
A few japs and some bacon or ham for flavor.
Makes for great eats. :)
I have made it several times thru thr years and is just one of those
things that gets sets aside for something new.

Hey CRG, Sorry if I'm being a complete moron... ???, but have you possibly missed out some vinegar or something to make this "pickled"? I LOVE anything pickled... but I can't see what would give the pickled zing in this recipe... sounds interesting though and I would love to try it.
Expat, thanks. It was 1/4 cup vinegar.
Bet I looked at that 10 and it just slid past my eyes.
I read that recipe yesterday and couldn't figure out what was pickling those peas but figured I was just missing it. Definitely going to try those.
Thanks for the recipe Sonny.
Sounds close to the Texas Caviar recipe I have

Not quite Kevin but here is my recipe. I didn't want to Hijack CRG's post that's why I didn't post it before. Mix up a bowl and get a bag of chips and a couple Adult Beverages and your set for a race, a ballgame or just hanging out in the backyard.
Texas Caviar
3 15oz(?) cans of Black Eyed Peas/beans
½ small red onion, chopped and diced thin
½ cup, + or -, canned jalapeno's, chopped fine
2 cloves of garlic crushed
ground black pepper to your taste
a few good drops of your favorite hot sauce
1/3 cup, + or -, zesty Italian dressing *
Drain the beans, add the rest of the ingredients except dressing. Stir well. Add dressing and stir until your desired consistency, adding more if you like. Let sit overnight. Stir and adjust your heat level, if needed. Serve with tortilla chips.
* olive oil and red wine vinegar can be substituted here.
All amounts are approximate and open to any interpretation
That don't sound too bad - you leave out the vinegar too? :D
"1/3 cup, + or -, zesty Italian dressing *
* olive oil and red wine vinegar can be substituted here."
I didn't think they put vinegar in the zesty italian. I ran out, I'll have to buy some more and check that one out. I love that stuff anyhow. Soak my venison steaks in it.
Speaking of Caviar ... take a listen.
Cowboy Caviar
15 1/2 oz can of pinto or black beans, drained and rinsed
11 oz can of whole kernel corn, drained
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
3 green onions stalks, minced
1 large (or 2 small) avocados , diced
1 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup of prepared salsa
3/4 ts of salt
1/2 ts of pepper
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
Gently toss to combine.
Chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Serve with chips for dipping or anyway you like it.
Is great on a Salad. (maybe with some small chucks of smoked meat)
Jan made CRG's pickled blackeyed peas on Sunday. We left them in the frig until yesterday. Dang, those are good when piled on a tortilla chip. Did put some chopped jalapenos in to add a little zip.
Thanks for the recipe Sonny.
I think we are going to have to try this one.
Mrs
My #2 daughter makes a bean salad similar to the Texas cavier. She uses 3-4 types of beans; small white, black, pinto, black-eyed peas, whatever. Yep, a lot of cilantro and also a bunch of diced garlic and some chopped celery. No salsa. Dressing is usually something like dry Italian mixed up along with fresh squeezed lime.
Beans are good for you - I think :D
