BLACK-EYED PEA CORNBREAD

My mother-in-law passed down this very old recipe to my wife. The first time she made it, I was completely surprised. I had never heard of it, and I've been unable to find anything else quite like it. You can fix this as a side dish to a meal, or make it into muffins for snacks. Either way, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

BLACK EYED PEA CORNBREAD

This is apparently a recipe they make at the Black Eyed Pea restaurant (EDIT: apparently not the Black Eyed Pea Restaurant cornbread - thanks Kelly - but still yummy), but I tried it out at home and it was delicious. Rather filling, it's maybe a little too much for a side, but it's very good. Try it out! I've also just remembered that I actually used a couple of red chilli peppers, rather than jalapeno peppers, which gave it a bit more kick. So it's up to you which you use :)

BLACK EYED PEA CORNBREAD

This is a favorite at family gatherings made by my sister-in-law, Judy. It is very filling; more like a meal than a cornbread.

Categories     Other Breads

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground pork sausage
1 onion, chopped
1 c corn meal
1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1 c buttermilk
1/3 c vegetable oil
3/4 c cream corn
8 oz cheddar cheese, grated
2 c black eyed peas, cooked (or 15 ounce can)
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Cook sausage and onions until brown. Drain and set aside.
  • 2. Combine meal and other dry ingredients.
  • 3. Beat eggs, buttermilk, and oil together.
  • 4. Combine this with the dry ingredients (batter will not be smooth).
  • 5. Add cooked sausage, onions, peppers, corn, cheese, and peas.
  • 6. Bake in 13x9-inch pan at 350 degrees for 50 - 55 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use canned or dried black-eyed peas: If using canned, drain and rinse them before using. If using dried, soak them overnight in water before cooking.
  • Cook the black-eyed peas until they are tender: This will take about 30 minutes for canned peas and about an hour for dried peas.
  • Use fresh or frozen corn: If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw it before using.
  • Use all-purpose flour: You can also use self-rising flour, but you will need to omit the baking powder from the recipe.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk gives the cornbread a slightly tangy flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk.
  • Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will give the cornbread a crispy crust. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking dish.
  • Bake the cornbread until it is golden brown: This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Serve the cornbread warm: Cornbread is best served warm with butter or honey.

Conclusion:

Black-eyed pea cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of sweet corn and savory black-eyed peas, this cornbread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying side dish, give black-eyed pea cornbread a try!
