This is a simple but yummy side dish. I got it from Paula's Home Cooking Southern Traditions show. If you omit the bacon you can make this a vegetarian dish and serve it with rice. Ingredients:
4 slices bacon (optional) |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 (16 ounce) package dried black-eyed peas, washed |
1 (12 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
3 cups water |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon, crumble, and set aside to use as a topping for the peas.
2. Saute the onion in the bacon drippings until tender. Add the peas, diced tomatoes w/ green chiles, salt, chili powder, pepper and water.
3. Cover and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the peas are tender. Watch your peas closely and add additional water, if necessary. Serve garnished with crumbled bacon.
