BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH SAUSAGE AND TOMATOES



Black-Eyed Peas With Sausage and Tomatoes image

This is based on a favorite recipe from a friend, but modified to be lower in fat: (1) uses Italian turkey sausage instead of regular Italian sausage; (2) halved the amount of sausage used in the original recipe; (3) cooked sausage in water instead of frying in oil as per the original recipe; (4) replaced cheddar with 2% milk sharp cheddar cheese. Even with these modifications, this dish packs plenty of flavor -- I don't miss a thing from the original recipe.

SKILLET SAUSAGES WITH BLACK-EYED PEAS, ROMANO BEANS, AND TOMATOES



Skillet Sausages with Black-Eyed Peas, Romano Beans, and Tomatoes image

Fresh, in-shell black-eyed peas have a nutty flavor and cook quickly. You'll find them at farmers' markets in late summer. You can also buy shelled ones in the produce section of many supermarkets and from melissas.com. Flat green beans known as Romano (or Roma) beans are also found at farmers' markets. If you can't get them, string beans are a fine substitute.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound fresh hot Italian sausages (about 5)
3/4 pound fully cooked andouille sausages (about 4)
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups low-salt chicken broth
2 cups freshly shucked black-eyed peas (from 1 generous pound peas in pod) or one 11-ounce container shucked fresh black-eyed peas
12 ounces Romano beans or string beans, trimmed, cut crosswise into 3-inch pieces
1 10-ounce container grape tomatoes
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Add sausages and cook until browned and thermometer inserted horizontally into Italian sausages registers 165°F, turning occasionally, about 12 minutes. Transfer sausages to plate. Add onion to skillet; sprinkle with salt and cook until tender and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add garlic; stir 30 seconds. Add broth and peas; cover and cook until peas are almost tender, about 12 minutes. Add beans; cover and simmer until beans are almost tender, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook uncovered until tomatoes begin to burst, about 2 minutes. Add thyme and sausages with any accumulated juices. Cook until sausages are heated through, peas and beans are tender, and liquid coats back of spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon vegetable mixture into large shallow bowl. Arrange sausages over and serve.

Tips:

  • Soak the black-eyed peas overnight: This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so choose one that you like the taste of. A good option is a chicken or vegetable broth.
  • Add some spice: If you like a little heat, you can add some cayenne pepper or chili powder to the dish. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for extra flavor.
  • Don't overcook the black-eyed peas: They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This dish is great with rice, cornbread, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This Italian Hot Turkey Sausage and Black-Eyed Peas recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try!
