Yield Makes about 60 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 (15 1/2-ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained (about 6 1/2 cups)
3 red bell peppers, finely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 cups fresh bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal plus additional for dusting
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup mayonnaise
Accompaniment:jerk pork

Steps:

  • Mash half of peas in a bowl with a fork and stir in remaining peas.
  • Cook red peppers in butter in a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until barely softened. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Transfer one third of pepper mixture to a bowl and cool. Set aside for red pepper mayo.
  • Stir remaining pepper mixture into peas with bread crumbs, cilantro, eggs, cumin, and salt. Scoop 1 tablespoon mixture into palm of your hand (mixture will be soft and moist) and form into a roughly 1-inch-wide patty. Put it on a tray and form more patties in same manner, arranging in 1 layer on tray. Dip patties, 1 at a time, into cornmeal, turning gently to coat, and transfer as coated to a tray lined with wax paper and dusted with cornmeal. Chill patties, covered, at least 2 hours and up to 8.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook cakes, 12 at a time, until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Put cakes as cooked in 1 layer in a large shallow baking pan. Between batches, carefully wipe skillet clean with paper towels and add more oil.
  • Stir mayonnaise into reserved red pepper mixture and season with salt and pepper. Reheat cakes in middle of oven until hot, about 5 minutes, and top with red pepper mayo and jerk pork.

The jerk pork was a bit dry, but the red pepper mayo and black-eyed pea cakes were delicious. I would recommend cooking the pork for a shorter amount of time to prevent it from drying out.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper in the jerk marinade if you don't like spicy food.
