Lulu's LA Caviar

Written by Aunt Brenda

Lulu's LA Caviar

Lulu's at Homeport Marina is one of our favorite hanging out places in Alabama. Lulu's is owned and managed by Lucy Buffett,  Jimmy's sister, and has been in operation for many years. Occasionally, Jimmy stops in and gives an impromptu performance. This is one of Lucy's most famous recipes. This makes a large amount, perfect for summer barbecues!

You will need:

Dressing:
¾ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

4 (15-ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
1 cup chopped red pepper
1 cup chopped red onion
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 cup chopped fresh parsley

  1. Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar; cover tightly and shake vigorously to dissolve sugar. Set aside.
  2. Rinse and drain peas well. Place in a large glass or aluminum bowl.
  3. Add remaining ingredients and dressing. Toss well. Transfer to plastic container, cover and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.
  4. Serve with tortilla chips or saltine crackers.

Makes 20-25 Servings

I looked around and found this video showing Lucy making the LA Caviar on a television show. She was promoting her cookbook Crazy Sista Cooking.

I am Brenda Shoop and I am Aunt Bytes' very own resident nurse. I hold a bachelors in nursing from The University of South Alabama. I worked in health care for 20 years before "abandoning the ship." I have experience in emergency, trauma, pediatrics, internal medicine, cardiology, and holistic care. I am striving to learn as much as I can about how to treat the body so it can heal itself, in the most natural ways possible.

I am connected to The Great Universal Energy Source in the most wonderful and magical way. I see miracles every single day because I have learned how to change my perspective on life in general. We are all connected to the Same Source, and as we become enlightened, we change the course of events around us to reflect our deeper commitment, whether that commitment is to Love, Peace, Mercy, Greed, Lust, or Selfishness.

What I'm trying to say is that whatever drama is going on around you in your life right now is just a symptom of something you still need to deal with. If you change your patterns, the patterns of those around you will change as well. Much in the same way that if the Earth were to shift position, it would affect all the satellites around it, as well as the moon.

So, don't be afraid to shift positions now and again. Just try a new one on for size and see how it fits. You can always change your mind later, you know.
