Make a savory relish with black-eyed beans, a great appetizer for a main course. It can also be spread on bread, used in sandwiches, wrapped in tortillas, or served with meat as a dip. The beans are simmered in chicken broth with bacon, tomatoes, thyme, garlic, and dried hot peppers until very tender. The thyme and chili peppers are then removed from the pot, and the bean liquid is pureed in a blender and then mixed back into the relish along with fresh cilantro, green onions, and lemon juice. The beans are infused with a rich, aromatic bouquet.
