Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces dried black-eyed peas
1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
Coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon pimenton (smoked Spanish paprika)
8 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Soak peas in a bowl of cold water for 3 hours. Drain, and pat dry. Whisk together sugar, 1 tablespoon salt, and the pimenton.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches, fry peas until golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined tray. Drain for about 30 seconds. Immediately transfer peas to a large bowl, and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Toss lightly to coat.
