Texas Caviar Black-Eyed Peas Recipe

Black-eyed peas are a must on the menu for New Year's Day in the Southern areas of the United States. The legumes resemble little coins and consuming them is said to bring prosperity in the new year. Caviar refers to the hearty richness of this classic dip, but it is actually more like a Mexican dip, filled with onions, chiles, cilantro, and cumin. Serve with tortilla chips. Make 2 to 3 days in advance so the flavors can meld.
