BLACK-EYED PEA SAUSAGE STEW



Black-Eyed Pea Sausage Stew image

I always wanted to try black-eyed peas. I happened to have smoked sausage on hand one night, so I invented this full-flavored stew. It's the perfect way to heat up a cold night without spending a lot of time in the kitchen. I usually double the seasonings because we like our food spicier. -Laura Wimbrow, Bridgeville, Delaware

BLACK EYED PEA SAUSAGE



Black Eyed Pea Sausage image

My grandmother in Alabama made these years ago as an inexpensive subsitute for pork sausage. My Mom still makes these for me. There was never a real recipe, so the last time she made them, she measured her ingredients as best she could to come up with this. OK, so they don't REALLY taste like sausage, but the sage does give them a hint of sausage flavor. I like these with biscuits but also like them as stand alone snacks or with a plate of veggies and corn bread. This can be made with leftover peas or canned peas.
