Purple Hull Peas image

A culinary tradition in the south are purple hull peas. Frozen ones are good (if frozen correctly) but fresh ones are delicious. A friend once said,"Give me fresh purple hull peas, fresh corn on the cob and fresh summer tomatoes and that's all I need for a great meal." My husband and I top them with homemade Ripe Tomato...

Number Of Ingredients 3

fresh purple hull peas
fat back or streak o' lean (maybe a 3" x 3" piece, for example)
1 Tbsp bacon grease, if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Shell peas and wash thoroughly. Cover with cold water and add seasoning meat. Don't add any more salt until they are nearly done and you taste peas to see if they are salty enough. The seasoning meat will be salty and will season as it cooks. Bring to a boil, then turn burner down to a slow boil. Cook until tender but not mushy! NOTE: If you have any leftover, put them in your pot of homemade soup. They are already seasoned and add great flavor.

I'm not a fan of purple hull peas, but I made this recipe for my husband and he loved it. He said it was the best purple hull peas he's ever had.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time I make it.

I've tried this recipe a few times and it always turns out great. The peas are always tender and flavorful, and the broth is delicious. I love serving this dish with cornbread and a side of collard greens.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my peas turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

This recipe is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll cut the amount of salt in half next time I make it.

This recipe is a fail. The peas were tough and the broth was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.
