Black Eyed Pea Cakes Recipe

Black Eyed Pea Cakes

From susana 15 years ago

I make these as a side dish to go with fried fish, hushpuppies and cole slaw but would also be good with fried chicken too.

1 can of your favorite black-eyed peas, drained shopping list
4 strip of precooked bacon, prepared and crumbled shopping list
3/4 of one (jarred) whole fire roasted red pepper , chopped shopping list
enough flour to make the mixture bind together to make the little “cakes” shopping list
1 tbspn butter shopping list
olive oil shopping list

In a medium bowl, coarsely mash beans with a fork, add bacon and fire roasted peppers to mixture.
Add just enough flour to mixture to help bind.
Season with salt and pepper.
Shape pea mixture into patties ( I made five).
Melt butter and oil together in a skillet over medium heat.
Add patties and brown on both sides until crispy.

Precisely what I do with my leftover black eyed peas....make fried patties with them. My momma used to fry her leftover mashed and then we branched out to mashing the peas and adding a bit more onion and frying them up. They are quite good topped with a poached egg and a side salad of greens with a vinegar dressing.
