Appetizer
Texas Caviar is a delicious combination of freshly roasted corn, roasted bell pepper, a hint of vinegar, tomatoes, and the surprise element of black eyed peas.

Ingredients

2 ears fresh corn
1 red bell pepper
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 garlic clove, crushed through a press
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Tortilla chips, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Position the broiler rack about 8 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
Place the corn and red pepper on the broiler rack and broil, turning the corn occasionally, until the corn kernels are toasted brown and the pepper skin is blackened and blistered, about 10 minutes (or grill in an outside grill over direct heat)
Remove the corn from the broiler if it is done before the pepper.
Let stand for 10 minutes.
Cut the corn kernels from the corn.
Discard the skin, seeds, and core from the bell pepper
Dice the bell pepper.
Whisk the vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper together in a medium bowl.
Gradually whisk in the oil.
Add the corn, red bell pepper, black-eyed peas, tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño, and mix well.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.
Just before serving, season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with the cilantro.
Serve the caviar with tortilla chips and lime wedges.
