Kentucky Caviar

[@Angelhorselady]

I always add fresh Cilantro, Basil, and Parsley(chopped). Lime or Lemon juice gives it a little zing, too! Love y’all❣️

[@belindapoplin5439]

I'm not sure the recipe is complete without these ingredients!! Maybe even black olives! Yes! ❤

[@All.New.Maggie.Who.]

This crazy Yankee finally had some black-eyed peas and yum. What a beautiful dish!

[@Rudymk-ph2xb]

Us southerners are on to something.😉

[@markmower6507]

I subscribed Immediately. I have cooked Professionally for over 20 years. Though when my Mother introduced this recipe to me around 2015 (We knew it as Texas Caviar, Rest In Peace Mom!) I was skeptical about it At First, but it is an Amazing Recipe. What I really like about it is that you can use your imagination and add a lot of different ingredients to make Many different variations. I would use black eyed peas but also other types of beans on occasion like black beans and white beans. Also I really liked to add in Fresh Herbs like Cilantro and Oregano maybe some Thyme. Also Garlic real Garlic either Raw and or Roasted. Oh and for myself I might take some aside and add some thinly sliced Habanero. Just so many possibilities. It Is a Great Recipe!!! It was definitely a Crowd Pleaser.

[@julierobertson148]

Great suggestions. Thanks.

[@jcboom6894]

I would use chickpeas, I really don't like blackeyed peas. Black beans would be pretty in it but they bleed when they sit very long in a dip or salsa. I first heard of this is as Texas Caviar.

[@markmower6507]

@@jcboom6894 I absolutely did versions with chickpeas and enjoyed it more. I think one version I did was chickpeas and I want to say Cannellini beans and put a twist on it. I added some mild yellow Curry seasoning, and this was a smaller batch just for Me. I added roasted elephant garlic and some deseeded thinly sliced Habanero chilli peppers (Not too much, They are Spicy) . And I probably added a lot more fresh Herbs like Cilantro, Thyme, and Mexican Oregano than I normally would if I was making it for a bunch of different people with different taste buds... Hahahahahahahaha 😂!!!

[@BevJHAR]

I would definitely add herbs and garlic, maybe some lime or lemon juice.

[@pipermaisiemae1999]

I would add a ton of cilantro and seet corn. I don't like shoepeg corn .

[@debrafischer807]

I make a similar one with black beans , shoe peg corn, Roma tomatoes, purple onions, green onions, red, orange, green & yellow bell peppers, 1-or more jalapeño peppers depending on how hot you want it….I usually just stick with one for ourselves, balsamic vinegar and freshly chopped cilantro. It’s a lot of chopping of veggies as you want them chopped fine….but it’s worth it. I will try yours too. I love this kind of stuff

[@giannifriendly5600]

Your recipe is for sure delicious. Enjoyed it very much.

[@velonico]

Yummy! ❤

[@anniegetyrgun8741]

Love that there is no salt or sugar in this recipe. So healthy and the fact that it lasts so long in the fridge is awesome

[@vinlago]

The dressing has both but you could make your own. Just drizzle your favorite oil and vinegar and herbs / spices.

[@chris-q7c4x]

There is salt and sugar in every can lol not to mention the dressing

[@libbyworkman3459]

The canned vegetables already contain salt. The dressing contains salt. No other is needed.

[@feistsorcerer2251]

Unless you get no salt added veggies or substitute fresh/frozen ones there's a lot of salt in every ingredient. Check the sodium on canned vegetables before eating. You'll be surprised just how much they add to those things.

[@traditionalcampcraft]

Tons of sugar and salt in that 🤣😂

[@lorimiller7949]

Delicious and so versatile. I have added cilantro, red onions, diced green chilies, parsley, jalepenos, garlic, sliced black olives, and different kinds of beans and tomatoes, you cant screw this up!

[@lindastrang8703]

Except you made a different recipe using his ingredients.

[@lorimiller7949]

As I said, this recipe is so VERSATILE. That means you can tweak it without totally overhauling it. All the suggestions I mentioned work very well with the original ingredients. I look at it as enhancing the recipe by putting my spin on it. I don't think of that as changing or re-writing the recipe, just making a great recipe a little better, in my opinion. I don't think of it as a "different" recipe, just tweaked a bit. I think a cook should be able to make adjustments without being accused of "making a different recipe." I used to be rigid as you seem to be, but I've mellowed and loosened up a bit in my old age. 😊

[@chubbymonkey452]

@@lorimiller7949spoken like someone who knows nothing about cooking

[@lancedom6349]

Red onion is a needed addition, and cilantro. I agree with your variation suggestions.

We call it Cowboy Caviar.. but, I’m drooling… absolutely love this recipe..

[@RedSiegfried]

Same here, cowboy caviar. And yes, the longer you let it sit, the more the flavors marry up and the better it is.

[@GoMathewVideo]

I also call it cowboy caviar

[@Rudymk-ph2xb]

Me too! My mama loves it as well, and I half the recipe for the two of us. If it's in the house I will even eat it as a meal! It's so good, and it is such a versatile recipe. Many times, I adjust it to adapt to whatever I have in the house.

[@cherokeespring1683]

Been making a similar dish for years here in Baton Rouge but instead of black eye peas I use rinsed & drained black beans and instead of banana peppers use chopped fresh jalapeños. 😋

[@marymccombs8289]

Definitely going to try this recipe for this summers cookouts. I'll separate it into thirds before adding the Rotel tomatoes, and make 1 dish for each rotel - mild, original and hot. That way everyone gets their preference. I love the fact it can be made ahead of time.

I love black eyed peas!!

[@bluemusej]

I think I had this at an office potluck once, but they added chunks of avacado also. It was super good, but I didn't know what it was called, so I have never been able to remember what else was in it, but this is definitely it! Thank you I am going to make this tomorrow! I can almost smell it and taste it right now! I'm so excited! My family will love it. Thank you!

[@cathyhargrove2199]

Ok. This afternoon I mixed up a half batch of this. Our teenage twin granddaughters were here and they tore into this like crazy. I’ll be making the other half of the recipe.

[@livinglife8333]

I use drained and rinsed black beans, bag of thawed corn, diced cucumber, purple onion, yellow, red and green pepper, cilantro, a lot of cumin, garlic powder, lime juice. Minced jalapeños can be added if you like it spicy. Add salt to taste and chill. Yummy! We call it COWBOY CAVIAR.

[@travismoore7849]

I like making my home made taco sauce. I live here in eastern Kentucky. I went to morehead Kroger and got a rotel chilis and tomatoes, two cans no salt tomato sauce, I put the can of rotel in the blender, then add one teaspoon minced garlic, tea spoon of cilantro, one table spoon date sugar or what ever you want if you want to use for sweetness, table spoon of lemon juice or lime or cirtron juice, one table spoon of smoky Mexican hot sauce, blend until smooth. Put in a pot for the sauce add two cans of the no salt tomato sauce, add a tea spoon of cumin, tea spoon of onion powder and for a kick I like to add a tea spoon of cayenne pepper. Then stir on stove cap till mixed cook fifteen minutes on low to medium heat. The rest can be put in a jar in the fridge or plastic bowl to be frozen for later use. Goes great on tacos, and chicken in mole sauce on whole grain tortillas. If you want it extra smoky or robust adding a table spoon instead of the teaspoon of cumin could do that. Change it up to suit your taste. If you can take salt you may want to add a pinch or so of that. So this can be a hit or miss thing depends on personal preference, I like it a bit spicy.

[@XjtBA]

I will try this! Please try my recipe for Cowboy Caviar! I think you will love it! I use only dried beans. I soak them in water to cover, overnight. Then simmer till tender. Or, if you forget to soak them overnight, simmer dried beans for two minutes and turn off heat. Cover, and let sit for 2 hours. Simmer till tender. And I only use frozen corn, as canned corn tastes soggy. Also, I now toss with the dressing right before serving, if I make the night before. Otherwise, the oil gets congealed and thick. If you ask me, the trick to the best possible cowboy caviar is to dice the ingredients that need dicing (the tomatoes, onion, pepper, etc - not the beans!) very small, the smaller the better. Try to keep your tomato and avocado pieces petite rather than big and chunky (about bean-sized works great!). 3 Roma tomatoes , seeds removed, diced 2 ripe avocados diced 1 15 oz can black beans , rinsed and drained 1 15 oz can black eyed peas , rinsed and drained 1 ½ cups frozen sweet corn , thawed (I just usually toss it in the salad frozen unless I plan on eating it immediately, it thaws quite quickly). 1 bell pepper , diced (I used half a green and half a red, but color doesn’t matter) ⅓ cup red onion , diced 1 jalapeno pepper , seeds removed, diced into very small pieces ⅓ cup Cilantro , finely chopped DRESSING ⅓ cup olive oil 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar 2 Tablespoons lime juice (fresh preferred) 1 teaspoon sugar ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper 1/4 tsp garlic powder Tortilla chips , for serving Combine tomatoes, avocado, onion, black beans, black eyed peas, corn, pepper, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro in a large bowl. Toss/stir well so that ingredients are well-combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour dressing over other ingredients and stir/toss very well. Keep refrigerated. If not serving immediately, be sure to toss/stir well before serving.
