It’s a Texan-born dish brought to us by Helen Corbitt, who Texas Monthly once described as an ambivalent Texas transplant. The magazine also referred to Corbitt, who was a longtime director of food service for The Zodiac, a Neiman Marcus restaurant in downtown Dallas, as a “fearless burr in the saddle of Texas cookery.”Corbitt, a native New Yorker, wasn’t fond of black-eyed peas and hoped pickling them would make them palatable and unwittingly created one of the more famous Texas party dishes. The dish didn’t receive its signature name until appearing at the Driskill Hotel in Austin as a humorous comparison to the well-known pickled fish roe.TEXAS CAVIARINGREDIENTS2 (15-ounce) cans black-eyed peas drained and rinsed½ cup green onion (tops and bottoms)1 medium jalapeño pepper, finely chopped1 small red onion, finely chopped1 cup diced tomato2 cloves fresh garlic, minced½ cup Italian dressing or vinaigrette2 tablespoons lemon juice¼ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon black pepper1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano1 teaspoon chopped fresh basilDIRECTIONSIn a large bowl, combine peas and next 5 ingredi-ents. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing, lemon juice and next four ingredients. Combine, stir, cover and refrigerate for several hours. serve at room temperature with tortilla chips.West Texas variation: sub-stitute black beans and corn for black-eyed peas and add cubed avocado just before serving. this also makes a great vegetarian nacho topping. Place chips in a baking dish and top with cav-iar, sprinkle with shredded cheese and bake in the oven or under the broiler until cheese is melted. “Texas Caviar. There are those who adore the black-eyed pea and those who deem it better suited to the provisioning of livestock. But there aren’t many Texans who won’t eat just a few on New Year’s Day in adherence to the notion that doing so brings good fortune in the year ahead.”— Courtney Bond Phil Newton is a galveston baker/cook. He’s the owner/operator of stiglich Corner with partner Cindy Roberts.

Okra thrives in our heat and laps up the Texas sunshine.A signature Southern ingredi-ent, okra can be fried, pickled, roasted, grilled or added to gumbo. But perhaps my favorite way to enjoy this veggie is cooking up a batch of savory garden fritters. This easy recipe brings together classic summer flavors for a light lunch or eve-ning appetizer.SUMMER GARDEN FRITTERSServings: 6-8INGREDIENTS1 cup okra, caps and tips re-moved, mid-sections minced1⁄2 cup fresh corn kernels1⁄3 cup squash, grated1 small jalapeño, minced (seed-ed, if desired)3 tablespoons scallions, minced1⁄2 teaspoon salt2 tablespoons cornmeal2 tablespoons all-purpose flour2 tablespoons buttermilk1 egg1⁄2 teaspoon hot sauce1⁄3 cup vegetable oilAdditional salt to seasonCherry tomatoes, blisteredDIRECTIONSIn a medium bowl, stir together the okra, corn, squash, jalapeño, scallion and salt. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornmeal and flour. In a small cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg and hot sauce. Combine wet and dry ingredi-ents, whisking to mix thoroughly. Combine mixture with vegetables and let sit at least 10 minutes.Add oil to a 10-inch skillet and heat over medium heat. spoon batter in heaping tablespoons for small fritters — two tablespoons for larger fritters — into the hot oil. Press down on each dollop to flatten the batter slightly. Continue carefully dropping more batter into the hot oil, making sure the fritters don’t touch.Cook the fritters in batches over medium heat until each side is a dark golden color. transfer to paper-towel-lined plate. season with salt while hot. serve warm with blistered tomatoes.
