Zesty black-eyed pea salsa
Instructions:
- Place the peas in a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover the peas by 2 inches. Add a pinch of kosher salt and bring to a boil. Skim off the foam, reduce the heat, and simmer until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and transfer into a medium bowl. Stir in the vinegar, oil, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and cumin and let the beans cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, corn, jalapenos, green chiles, and parsley. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours and preferably overnight. Just before serving, stir well and check the seasoning.
- What else works? You can use other field peas of similar size and texture as black-eyed peas.
- Make-ahead note: The salsa can be made up to 2 days ahead, but don’t add the parsley until just before serving. Store covered and refrigerated. Stir well and check the seasoning before serving.
