Servings: persons

4 -5 lbs purple hull peas, fresh frozen (Bird's Eye)
1 cup pimiento, drained or 1 cup diced fresh pimiento
1/2 medium yellow bell pepper, seeded & diced
1/2 medium orange bell pepper, seeded & diced
1/2 medium red bell pepper, seeded & diced
8 scallions, chopped
4 -5 jalapeno peppers, seeded & diced (membranes also removed if lower heat is desired)
1 medium red onion, chopped (optional)
1 cup canola oil
1 cup white distilled vinegar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup red wine (optional, but do not increase the RW Vinegar)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste up to 1 t
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste up to 1 t
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste up to 1 t
1 tablespoon hot sauce, favorite of choice, up to 1 1/2 T

1
In a large soup pot or dutch oven, bring the purple hull peas to a boil for 3 minutes, reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes, then drain & cover with cold water & ice to chill to stop cooking.
2
Prep and dice all the fresh vegetables & place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the drained pimientos. Drain the chilled purple hull peas & add to the bowl. Fold gently to mix all the vegetables into a colorful blend.
3
In a separate bowl or quart pitcher combine the oil, vinegars, red wine, seasonings, and hot sauce for the dressing. Whisk together until well blended and salt is dissolved.
4
Pour over the dressing over the vegetables and fold gently until blended and coated. Best served chilled for 4 hours, occasionally folding the vegetables in the dressing to marinate them uniformly.
5
Keeps well so can be made a day ahead & gets better the longer it marinates. Serve chilled or at room temp -- delicious either way. Probably will disappear quickly -- almost addictive once tried.
6
Note: Prep time does not include chilling time.
7
If desired, tri-color pepper mix can be all yellow or orange since red and green will still be in mix for a colorful presentation.
