I saw the New Year's tradition thread... but have yet to start my own. I found a recipe for a spicy black-eyed pea dip and though I might try it. I was wondering if anyone else had any good recipes? Or even other traditional recipes other than black-eyed peas. I am, as always, taking an appetizer to work on Friday to celebrate New Years with all my coworkers. Here is the recipe I found: (and I will post some more if I find any)
Black-eyed Pea Dip
4 cups cooked black-eyed peas
1/4 lb butter
1 cup onions, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, chopped
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
salt and pepper
1/4 cup pimientos, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
Saute celery, garlic, jalapeno pepper, green chilies in butter for 2 to 3 minutes. Add cheese and stir until melted. Place heated mixture plus 2 cups peas in food processor and blend until puréed. Add remaining black-eyed peas to mixture in large bowl and stir. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with pimento and parsley if desired. Serve with warm tortilla chips or crackers.
