Texas Caviar

-
  • Black eyed peas, cooked, 1 lb or 2 cans.
  • Zesty Italian dressing, 1 bottle.
  • Chopped garlic, 1 jar, or chop freshly.
  • Salt to taste.
Layer black eyed peas, dressing, garlic and salt in a large bowl. Stir each layer gently, not breaking up black eyed peas.  Make several days  in advance if you can, letting it marinate in refrigerator, until each bean has absorbed the delectable taste.

Serve with crackers.  Unlike real caviar, spoon out generous portions.  Some people like it whole bean style, some people like mash it up and spread it.

Especially recommended over Christmas, and be sure to have enough for New Year's Day lunch.  Save some jars over the year and make a batch to share with your friends, they will love it.

Waffles

 Note on Chef's Choice waffle maker: Select "Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior" or "Uniform Texture". Darkness: To darken the waffle, move toward a higher number; to lighten, turn to a lower number. Start by putting 2 Tbsp water when ready to cook. 1/2 Cup of "lava thick" batter. Waffles may be kept warm in a preheated 300°F oven for 5 to10 minutes but their consistency may change. Batter can be held overnight under refrigeration. If it thickens, add milk to restore to the desired consistency. Ingredient Notes Sugar in waffle batter enhances the browning of the waffle especially on the surface where the temperatures are highest. Cornmeal in waffle batter adds extra crunch. Only a few tablespoons are needed to add texture. Butter and oil enhance flavor and can increase the darkening of the waffle. But too much liquid inhibits surface browning. Eggs add their own flavor to the mix and importantly they reduce the tendency of waffles to "split". Our ...
