Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound black-eyed peas (1 1/4 cups), picked over and rinsed
1 large onion, finely chopped
Two 14 1/2-ounce cans low-sodium chicken broth, or homemade, skimmed of fat
2 cups water
1 pound small white or red potatoes
2 pounds turkey sausage
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 pound head escarole, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place the peas in a large stockpot, and pour enough water to cover by 2 inches. Soak for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse, and return to the pot. Add the onion, broth, and water; bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until peas are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place potatoes in a medium saucepan, and add cold water to cover by 1 inch. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and let cool, and cut into quarters.
  • In a grill pan or under a broiler, cook the sausage, turning occasionally, until nicely browned and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
  • Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook until golden. Add escarole; cook, stirring until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add potatoes and escarole to black-eyed peas, and cook over medium heat until mixture returns to a simmer. Divide among six shallow soup bowls, and arrange sausage links on top. Season with the salt and pepper.

BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH SAUSAGE

Okay, I've comepletely changed this recipe, so it is no longer from the Southern Living 1986 Annual Recipe book. Please ignore the rating, it comes from the recipe that was originally here. The recipe you will find here now is how I usually fix black-eyed peas, although the amounts are guesstimates, since I rarely measure ingredients unless I am trying a new recipe. This recipe goes well with cornbread, rice or stewed tomatoes. You can leave out the sausage if you like.
