Fresh, in-shell black-eyed peas have a nutty flavor and cook quickly. You'll find them at farmers' markets in late summer. You can also buy shelled ones in the produce section of many supermarkets and from . Flat green beans known as Romano (or Roma) beans are also found at farmers' markets. If you can't get them, string beans are a fine substitute. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 pound fresh hot italian sausages (about 5) |
3/4 pound fully cooked andouille sausages (about 4) |
1 small onion, chopped |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
3 cups low-salt chicken broth |
2 cups freshly shucked black-eyed peas (from 1 generous pound peas in pod) or one 11-ounce container shucked fresh black-eyed peas |
12 ounces romano beans or string beans, trimmed, cut crosswise into 3-inch pieces |
1 10-ounce container grape tomatoes |
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme |

1. Heat oil in heavy large deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Add sausages and cook until browned and thermometer inserted horizontally into Italian sausages registers 165°F, turning occasionally, about 12 minutes. Transfer sausages to plate. Add onion to skillet; sprinkle with salt and cook until tender and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add garlic; stir 30 seconds. Add broth and peas; cover and cook until peas are almost tender, about 12 minutes. Add beans; cover and simmer until beans are almost tender, about 4 minutes.
