Blackeyed Peas 05 – Bean Cereals Food Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

Black Eyed Peas

dried black eyed peas

1 large whole onion

l tsp. of brown sugar

cubed salt pork

1 large onion sliced

freshly cracked black pepper

Around here we "have" to have blacked eyed peas for New Years Day,

otherwise, my mother-in-law insists we’ll all have bad luck. This

is probably one of the most traditional ways I’ve ever heard of

for cooking the peas. Wash and soak peas overnight. Place in a

large pot, together with a large whole onion, l tsp. of brown sugar

and simmer until tender. Fry up cubed salt pork until very crisp

and drain. Using the fat from the pork, add one large onion sliced,

and cook until lightly browned. When peas are ready to be served,

mix in the sauteed onion and sprinkle with the salt pork and freshly

cracked black pepper to taste.
