Step by Step Method
Step 1
Pureé black-eyed peas in a food processor, or use a potato masher.
Step 2
Add parsley, bell pepper, onion, ground pepper and thyme. Mix by hand until well combined.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, and brush with a small amount of olive oil.
Step 4
Form the bean mixture into 10 balls, each the size of a well-rounded teaspoon. Flatten the balls between your hands and set four or five in the skillet. When brown flip gently and brown other side. Repeat with remaining cakes.
Step 5
Combine yogurt, tomato sauce and cayenne and serve with the warm cakes.
