I make these as a side dish to go with fried fish, hushpuppies and cole slaw but would also be good with fried chicken too.
Ingredients:
1 can of your favorite black-eyed peas, drained
4 strip of precooked bacon, prepared and crumbled
3/4 of one (jarred) whole fire roasted red pepper , chopped
enough flour to make the mixture bind together to make the little “cakes
1 tbspn butter
olive oil
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, coarsely mash beans with a fork, add bacon and fire roasted peppers to mixture.
2. Add just enough flour to mixture to help bind.
3. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Shape pea mixture into patties ( I made five).
5. Melt butter and oil together in a skillet over medium heat.
6. Add patties and brown on both sides until crispy.
