My girls and I were scrounging today for lunch - I need to go grocery

shopping in a major way. I had a tube of prepared polenta and a can of

black eyed peas and went from there. It was DELISH! The three of us

" disappeared " the whole thing!

 

Black Eyed Pea Salsa (yields 3 cups)

 

1/2 cup chopped green and 1/2 cup chopped red pepper (which I didn't have,

but it would have been better with it in there)

1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped

1/4 cup sliced green onions with tops

1 tbsp snipped fresh cilantro

1 clove of garlic, pressed

1 can black eyed peas, drained and rinsed

1 can whole kernel corn

1/3 cup Christie's Mandarin Orange salad dressing (I picked this up at an

upscale grocery the other day - they had it on sale and it looked yummy -

you could sub Italian dressing, but the orange one gave it a sweet note that

was very tasty)

1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

kosher salt to taste

 

Combine all ingredients and refrigerate while you do the polenta.

 

Take 1 tube of prepared polenta (mine was sundried tomato/garlic) and slice

into 24 little rounds. Brown them in a skillet with a scant amount of oil.

You want them to be browned and very crispy on the outside and they'll be

nice and creamy inside. Drain on paper towels. Top with salsa.
