Black-eyed Peas image

I enjoy black-eyed peas, but I don't like them mushy. I have been trying to perfect them, and I think this recipe is quite delicious. If I didn't have bacon on hand, I'd substitute leftover ham or approximately 4 Tbs. bacon grease.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb fresh or frozen black-eyed peas
3 - 4 slice bacon, cut into 1" pieces
1 tsp dry, minced onion
water
1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt
1/8 - 1/4 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a 3-quart pot over medium-high heat, cook 1" pieces of bacon partially. Be certain to stir from time to time so that it does not burn. (Note: I cover my pot to reduce splatter.)
  • 2. Add peas and onion; stir. Then add enough water to completely cover peas. Cover and bring to a boil.
  • 3. Once the water is boiling, reduce heat and simmer for approximately one hour, stirring occasionally, and making certain water still covers the peas.
  • 4. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, season with salt and pepper. (Adjust to personal taste.)

I'm a vegetarian so I omitted the ham hock from this recipe. The peas were still delicious and flavorful. I would definitely make this recipe again.
