Black-eyed peas, also known as black-eyed beans, are small, creamy legumes with a distinctive black spot. They are a staple ingredient in many Southern and Cajun dishes, and they are often served with rice. This article features two delicious recipes for black-eyed peas: one with andouille sausage and one with ham. Both recipes are easy to make and packed with flavor. The andouille sausage recipe is a classic Cajun dish that combines the smoky flavor of andouille sausage with the creamy texture of black-eyed peas. The ham recipe is a more traditional Southern dish that uses ham hocks or smoked ham to add a rich, savory flavor. Both recipes are served over fluffy white rice, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.

BLACK EYED PEAS WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE
What would the new year be without Black Eyed Peas? It's a traditional dish served in the South on New Year's Day, consisting of a savory black-eyed pea mixture served over rice. To jazz it up, I added Andouille Sausage and Louisiana Skillet Cornbread for a true southern dish.

BLACK-EYED PEAS AND RICE WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE
This is from Cooking Light magazine. I love it because it is fast, tasty, and relatively economical. If you don't want to use spicy andouille, substitute your favorite sausage instead.

Steps:
- If using dried peas, rinse and soak overnight in water to cover by 3 inches. Drain, and place in a 6- to 8-quart pot with a 1/2-pound piece of the andouille, the ham and the stock. Heat to boiling, then reduce to a simmer. (If using fresh or frozen peas, boil the stock first, then add peas, the 1/2-pound piece of andouille and the ham. Return to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.)
- Heat the bacon grease or oil in a heavy skillet, add the onion and celery and cook until soft. Add to the peas with the garlic and remaining seasonings. Simmer dried peas for 2 to 2 1/2 hours; fresh or frozen for about 30 to 45 minutes. In both cases, the peas should be tender and the liquid should begin to thicken.
- Slice remaining sausage into 1/2-inch rounds. Fry briefly in a nonstick skillet and add to the peas. Remove the whole piece of sausage and the ham and chop roughly; return to pot. Cook for another 15 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs, bay leaves and pepper pods.
- To serve, ladle pea mixture over rice and sprinkle with green onions, Tabasco and vinegar to taste.
