Step by Step Method

Step 1

Sort and wash peas; place in a large Dutch oven. Cover with water 2 inches above peas. Let soak 8 hours.

Step 2

Drain. Return peas to Dutch oven; add salt pork and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes.

Step 3

Add onion and the next 12 ingredients, stirring well. Cover and simmer 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the peas are tender.

Step 4

Add sausage(to reduce fat content, pre-cook the sausage....but this will reduce the deliciousness); simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes. Serve over rice in individual bowls. Garnish with green onions if you'd like.

Daily Inspiration

This recipe is awesome. We absolutely love black-eyed peas and while I make them on New Year's Day, I sometimes forget to make them throughout the year. The peas cook up so nice and tender and the addition of the sausage and spices are a wonderful addition. The only change I made was to sub tomatoes and green chili's vs. tomato sauce. Hope that didn't change the recipe too much. I plan to make these peas again on New Year's Day.: )
