Purple Hull Peas are a lot like black eyed peas. We buy ours fresh and already shelled from a roadside farm stand in East Texas. We keep them in a cooler for our four hour trip back home. I put them in the fridge and make this ASAP usually the next day. I got this recipe from . but I use half the sugar and half the salt that the original had. We love the healthier version and hope you will too. Ingredients:
1 quart fresh shelled purple hull peas |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoons sugar |
Directions:
1. Well Rinse the Purple Hull Peas -I put mine in a colander in a bowl and fill with cold water and rinse several times until I can see when the water is clear.
2. Fill a Three Quart Sauce Pan half way with water - about 6 Cups.
3. Place on High Heat.
4. Add Salt, Olive Oil, and Sugar.
5. Bring to a rolling boil.
6. Add Peas.
7. Bring the water back to a rolling boil.
8. Then turn the heat down Med-Low.
9. Wait until they Simmer.
10. Then Cover and Simmer for 90 minutes.
