Pickled Black Eye-Pea Summer Succotash

Yield 6 Portions

Ingredients

1 jar Doux South Black Eye Pea Caviar (drained and liquid reserved)
3 sweet peppers diced
1 onion diced
5 ears sweet corn (kernels removed from the cob)

Method of Production

  1. Place diced bacon in a medium hot sauté pan and render as much fat out as possible. This will take about 5-6 minutes.
  2. Remove the bacon leaving the bacon fat in the sauté pan and then add your onion, sweet peppers, corn and tomatoes to the sauté pan and cook on medium/high heat for 5-6 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic to your vegetable mixture.
  4. Deglaze the pan with a ¼ cup of the liquid reserved from the pickled black eye peas and reduce for 30 seconds.
  5. Place your butter into the pan and coat the vegetables with the butter and liquid in the pan.
