Notes
- If you want to use dried black-eyed peas instead of canned, you'll need to cook and cool them first. Soak the peas overnight, then simmer until tender before draining, cooling, and using them in the recipe.
- As to whether this recipe is spicy, in my opinion, the heat level of this recipe, as written, is mild, but you can adjust it however you like by adding more or less jalapeno, omitting the jalapeno completely, or amping it up with a hotter pepper such as serrano.
- Keep tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze.
