I’m not much of a sauce/relish type girl. I like my food plain, usually saltless and sugarless from years of food rules in my head commanding what I could and could not eat. I’m even offended when gravy intrudes upon my perfect virgin mashed potatoes. My mother likes to say I simply have no taste buds, personally I think they seem to only respond to sugar. But when you’re cooking for someone else AND that someone is a spice lover….it’s a real game changer. I made this when a creative front blew through while trying to get rid of overripe tomatoes. I topped my Jack and the beanstalk black eye pea concoction with juicy relish over pine nut-brown rice; each part cooked separately in the crock pot. It was a crock pot kind of day…
