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.

Colorful and flavorful! Instead of 10 small patties as appetizers, you could also make 3-4 meal-sized veggie burgers. I added a small amount of masa flour to help hold them together since my black eyed peas were defrosted from the freezer.
