I’ve been meaning to make something from my vegan cookbook Thug Kitchen: Eat Like You Give A Fuck. This coming Thursday we are having a goodbye party for our student worker who happens to be vegan and I wanted to make sure she actually has options to eat. I bought the ingredients today and will make this Wednesday evening. 

Sweet corn and black eyed pea dip

“Some people call this Texas Caviar. We just call it goddamn delicious. This makes a fuckton of dip so if you’re flying solo, just halve everything”

1 red bell pepper
1 small tomato
3 cups cooked black eyed peas (I’m using to 15oz cans)
1 cup raw corn kernels (I intend to double this)
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1/3 cup chopped cilantro 
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, minced
2 tbsps olive oil
2 tbsps lime juice
2 tbsps red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt

1. Chop up the bell pepper and tomato into pieces about the size of a bean
2. Add the black eyed peas to a large bowl and smash them just a little bit. You want roughly one-third of them smashed up, the rest can stay whole. This just adds an extra creaminess to the dip but you can skip it if you are over the whole mashed bean thing.
3. Mix in the pepper and tomato and everything else, stir and taste. Easy. Add more lime juice or salt if you think it needs it. Serve this as a dip or over some greens for a fucking bomb-ass salad.


Can you see why I got this cookbook? Aside from the food sounding good, the descriptions amuse the hell out of me

EDIT - I noticed it was missing some items. Eeek!
